Marion Jones isn't out for 'redemption'

Posted Mar 11, 2010
Marion Jones hasn't lost much of her swagger. The disgraced sprinter once called the world's fastest woman was introduced Wednesday as the newest member of the WNBA's Tulsa Shock and she offered no apologies for her steroids use or her time in federal prison. She was poised and ready for questions about her troubled past. "The word redemption is not in my vocabulary," Jones, a former UNC basketball star, said at a news conference. (Durham Herald-Sun)
