Marion Jones needs a job

Kinda sad how things turned out for her. I know she deserved it, but, ugh. I wish she didn't have to get a job at McDonald's to make ends meet.

karma can be a mean, mean woman.

Damn, I read your comment before the article ... I was REALLY hoping it said she was working at McDonalds.

Still married to Obedele Thompson?

A lot of felons having a hard time finding work these days even ones with degrees.

Real Life ain't easy.

NO! DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR THIS WOMAN!

If you had a co-worker who cheated their entire profession, and essentially stole bonuses, rewards for records, trophies, appearance fees, ending up making over a million dollars, then lied about it to every person who would listen, and lied in court about it, but was promoted to status symbol in this country for being nothing more than a complete fraud. How can you feel sorry for her? A person who still to this day refuses to be honest about what she did, claiming she only lied about what she knew in court, but still claims innocence for being a cheat and a thief. Oh, and there is that little check scam nonsense she was a part of. She signed a check that was part of the scam! She knew about it, come on!

It is people like her that have turned people off to our sport, a sport that is in dire need of help to bring back a fan base that has been lost. And alot of it is because of people like her. She cheated the entire profession, she deserved even more jail time than she got.

Because White ahtletes never ever ever blow their millions..ever nor white lotto winners or white bankers or white investors..yup once whites get rich they stay rich. Its more about the upbringing. WHen you grow up poor and all the sudden have all this money, you have no clue what to think and you also feel it will always be there. Its more a class thing then a race thing. Sorry most these guys are not lucky enough like you to have Daddy's CPA's looking after their money.

Come on, check out how hard they had to work to find white athletes. Scott Harrison? Darren McCarty?

Hilarious but true. Actually, it is the rare person of any color NOT to blow through tons of dough, especially when they never had any money their whole life.

She needs to write a tell all book and be completely honest this time around. But she still takes the position that she thought she was taking flaxseed oil so I don't think truth will ever come out of her.

You guys just don't get it.

She's famous and pretty enough to make a hundred thousand a year just opening up car dealerships and holding "just say no to drugs" speeches at the annual dinner of local youth soccer leagues.

Heck-- if she were willing to get rid of her husband and could behave, she could easily marry some pseudo-rich guy (a dentist who owns 2-3 clinics or the guy who owns a small chain of paint stores) and live a very nice life as arm candy.

As much as we'd like to think that she is paying for her sins, there is a long way between her and an honest days work... Cheating does pay.

she was framed.

Yeah normally I'd agree w/ something like that, but watch "The Lottery Changed My Life" or any shows like that and see what happens when low to middle class white Americans win a substantial lottery...

Can't she still compete ?

If there's anything we've learned from LetsRun, yes, she should easily be able to move up to the 800.

Yes, she can't

Here's a job for her:

She could go into the real estate biz with Reginald Jacobs.

Good idea! If she actually had a true tell all book then it would sell decent...especially if she detailed her PED protocol leading up to and after the 2000 Sydney games...there's a whole sub-culture of folks who would eat that stuff up!
