Marion Jones Is B R O K E
Seven years after winning a women’s record five Olympic track and field medals and snagging multimillion-dollar endorsement deals, Marion Jones is broke. The sprinter is heavily in debt, fighting off court judgments and down to a bank balance of about $2,000, according to recent court records reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.
Last year, a Jones urine sample tested positive for the performance-enhancing drug EPO. Jones immediately quit a European track tour and returned to the United States. Although she was cleared when a backup sample tested negative, she missed at least five major international meets, forfeiting an estimated $300,000 in appearance and performance fees.
In her prime, Jones was one of track’s first female millionaires, typically earning between $70,000 and $80,000 a race, plus at least another $1 million from race bonuses and endorsement deals.
To this day people are still claiming that Marion Jones used steriods. It's a proven fact that she didn't but all the bad press has worked against her. Be looking out for her on the next season of The Surreal Life, Dancing with the Stars, Big Brother or Dr.Phil.

Is she gay? I hear she's living with her mother now. How true is this?

that's too bad. i still never understood how people can stack that much paper and end up broke a few years later. i would hire investors and a financial planner or whatever to make sure my money was being spent and invested well!

I read that she had to pay out thousands in settlements, also her trainer had sued her. She should have invested. I wonder what she's up to now.
