Jones’ alleged doping regimen revealed in BALCO evidence
December 23, 2007 - 10:00 pm
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. -- Marion Jones used several different performance-enhancing drugs over a substantial period of time, according to a detailed doping calendar that was part of several pages of court documents released Friday.
Jones' alleged doping regimen was part of a Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative ledger that featured the names of athletes along with the performance-enhancing drugs they were taking and results of urine tests. The other names on the list are redacted.
After long denying she had used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted in October that she had taken the designer steroid "the clear" from September 2000 to July 2001. "The clear" has been linked to BALCO, the lab at the center of the steroids scandal in professional sports.
The International Olympic Committee formally stripped her of five Olympic medals on Dec. 12, and banned the disgraced American athlete from attending next year's Beijing Olympics in any capacity.
Jones took EPO, human growth hormone and THG using drops and injections, according to the court documents that show use in 2000 and 2001.
Jones will be sentenced Jan. 11.
