One can't deny Marion Jones' resilience

Posted Nov 2, 2010
It was just a regular afternoon this past summer, in a gym at the University of Tulsa, where you might have mistaken Marion Jones for somebody whose life hadn't completely collapsed. "Those are the moments I really cherished, where I wasn't in the spotlight," Jones said as she discussed her new book, "On the Right Track," and "Marion Jones: Press Pause," the "30 for 30" documentary about her that will debut Tuesday on ESPN (8 p.m. ET).
