Marion Jones gives Oprah Winfrey post-prison interview
Posted Oct 29, 2008
Disgraced track star Marion Jones will give her first post-prison interview to Oprah Winfrey. Jones' appearance on Wednesday's episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" is to be her first interview since she was released September 5 from a Texas federal prison after completing most of her six-month sentence for lying about steroid use. Jones tells Winfrey that it wasn't difficult for her to return the three gold medals she won in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
