TRACK AND FIELD

Legally troubled Jones is broke, report says

Seven years after winning a women's-record five Olympic track and field medals and snagging multimillion-dollar endorsement deals, Marion Jones is broke.

The sprinter is heavily in debt, fighting off court judgments and down to a bank balance of about $2,000, according to recent court records reviewed by the Los Angeles Times.

Last year, a bank foreclosed on her $2.5 million mansion in an area of Chapel Hill, N.C., where Michael Jordan was a neighbor. She also was forced to sell two other properties, including her mother's house, to raise money.

Jones' financial woes were revealed in a 168-page deposition in a breach-of-contract suit she filed in Dallas against veteran track coach Dan Pfaff. Pfaff countersued and won a judgment against Jones for about $240,000 in unpaid training fees and legal expenses.

Legal bills have plagued Jones since 2003, when suspicions of drug use emerged and she was linked to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO) after a federal raid.

Also: World-record holder Asafa Powell injured himself slightly while winning the 100 meters at the Jamaican Track and Field Championships in Kingston on Saturday.

Powell's brother, Nigel, said Sunday that Asafa hurt his groin but was walking without a limp and feeling much better.

Powell had slowed twice during the final 60 meters and still won in 10.04 seconds. After crossing the line, he rested on the ground for about three minutes before he was helped to his feet.
