On the comeback trail
Marion Jones won five medals at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, which was good; apparently she had a little help from her druggist, which wasn’t so good, and after false testimony to a pair of grand juries, she wound up with no medals and six months in the Hotel Graybar.
What’s a girl to do to make a living? Jones, who played college hoops at North Carolina, worked out for a WNBA team last fall, and now she’s signed with the Tulsa Shock for the 2010 season, presumably for the league minimum (around $35k a year).
The Shock’s season opens on the 15th of May at the BOk Center, against the Minnesota Lynx.
