With her Mother standing behind her trac

With her Mother standing behind her track star Marion Jones talks to reporters after appearing in US District Court 05 October 2007 in White Plains, New York. A tearful Jones said Friday she had broken the trust of her fans and announced she was retiring from the sport after admitting in court to taking steroids. Jones, 31, appeared in a court where she pleaded guilty to a charge of lying to federal agents over her drug use and an unrelated fraud charge, for which she now faces up to 10 years in jail. In a statement read out to the court, Jones admitted using the steroid THG, produced by the Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO) and known as "the clear," from September 2000 until July 2001.
