Few athletes in Olympic history have achieved this level of glory, and Marion Jones is one of them. She began her athletic career at the University of North Carolina and won world championships in 1997 and 1999. Jones reached her peak at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where she captivated the world with her style, beauty, and talent, winning three gold and two bronze medals. For years, Jones denied allegations that she used performance-enhancing drugs. However, in October 2007, she finally admitted to the allegations and that she had indeed been using performance-enhancing drugs.
