Marion Jones arrives at courthouse, prepared to make plea

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — For years, Marion Jones angrily denied using steroids. On Friday, she admitted it was all a lie.

CHANGE OF HEART: Jones had been steadfast in denialsARCHIVED AUDIO: Jones proclaims innocence in 2004

The three-time Olympic gold medalist pleaded guilty to lying to federal investigators when she denied using performance-enhancing drugs.

It was a stunning fall from grace for Jones, once the most celebrated female athlete in the world. She captivated the country with the audacious goal of winning five gold medals at the Sydney Olympics. Though she fell short — three golds but two bronzes — her charm and winsome smile made her a star.

Seven years later, she is broke, her reputation is ruined and she is looking at prison time.
