Former sprinter, Marion Jones, released from prison

Hope she can get her life back together...

SAN ANTONIO - Disgraced sprinter Marion Jones has been released from federal prison after completing her sentence for lying about her steroid use.

A federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman says Jones was released Friday morning from a halfway house in San Antonio after serving most of her six-month sentence for lying to federal investigators about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

An admitted steroid dealer testified that he gave Jones a cocktail of drugs before the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

She was stripped of her five medals in 2007 after admitting that she used the drugs.

...wonder what her first order of events will be...perhaps paid appearances to campaign against steroid use if I were her advisor....

Do you think she's learned from her past mistake(s)? Is she really reformed? Only time will tell.
