Jones jumps to victory
Embattled triple Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones has won the long jump and helped the United States sprint relay quartet to victory in a pre-Olympics international match.
Jones produced a jump of 6.82 meters in the event she has been selected to contest in Athens, then ran the second leg as the US team won the 4x100m relay in a time of 41.67 seconds ahead of reigning world champions France who fielded a reserve team. The controversial athlete looks set to compete in Athens despite facing accusations that she bought steroids and other drugs from the California-based BALCO laboratories, although she has never tested positive for a banned substance. |
