Marion Jones released from Texas federal prison
SAN ANTONIO, Texas -- Marion Jones left a federal prison in Texas on Friday after serving a six-month sentence for lying to prosecutors about steroid use that helped her win five medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
A federal Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman said Jones, 32, was released at 9 a.m. ET Friday 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.

I wish her the best in her pursuit of happiness. I first heard about her talent about a week before she first competed at the Arcadia Invitational in H.S. Clearly, she was going to make headlines. I still believe today, if she and every other competitor she had faced were genuinely clean, she would likely occupy the most exclusive club of sprinters today. Nevertheless, she now faces and has accepted the harsh reality of a tainted background in her most public display of athleticism. While, I have no personal information regarding sprinters using steroids other than what's reported and what I assume, I haven't deviated from my belief that many have achieved top level performances with steroids without ever having failed a test. Its common knowledge what little effort it takes to beat the tests as long as one doesn't push it. I would love to see tests that can detect half-lives of oral drugs for months but I'm not holding my breath.
