Best Answer

Marion Jones has not died. Her career died when she admitted to taking Performance Enhancing Drugs to win the Olympics. I have known her personally since she was a little girl, I know how good she was then and think she didn't need to cheat. But she cheated. They took away her medals, fined her, sent her to jail and kicked her out of the sport. Since then she has managed to make a few dollars playing Professional Basketball, where they don't care about her PED use as much.
