Before October 2007 this name 'Marion Jones' was like everything for track and field athletes. This athlete was roll model for almost every track and field athlete. And this was so because She won five medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia.How confident she was at that Olympic in Sidney that she announced that she is expecting to win all five medals in her five competition events.
What happen after that is very disappointing for 'Marion Jones''s followers. Her supporters supporting through all these events badly surprised by this news. On October 2007 Marion Jones admitted that she used performance-enhancing drugs and accepted 2 years suspension. With this event jones also announced her retirement from track and field on October 5, 2007.
This event also raised question mark on the anti doping body of international Olympic association. this also raised question on Olympic event itself. although Olympic association is claiming that anti doping technology is now improved very much.The United States Anti-Doping Agency stated that the sanction "also requires disqualification of all her competitive results obtained after September 1, 2000, and forfeiture of all medals, results, points and prizes".
