Marion Jones starts prison term

Sat 8th, March 2008

Fort Worth, TX (Sports Network) - Disgraced Olympic track and field star Marion Jones began her six-month prison sentence on Friday by reporting to federal prison in Fort Worth.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports Jones is expected to be housed at the minimum security facility of the Federal Medical Centre-Carswell. There, Jones could work in either the kitchen, perform ground maintenance or work in the recreation department, according to the newspaper.

It was in January when Jones was sentenced to six months in prison for lying to federal prosecutors. Jones pleaded guilty to two charges last October. The second charge was in connection with her knowledge of a check-fraud scam involving her ex-boyfriend, former sprinter Tim Montgomery.

Jones, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, was sentenced to six months for lying about her steroid use, and two months for the check-fraud case. Jones has since returned all five of the medals she won at the 2000 Sydney Summer Games.
