Olympic track champion makes the admission in federal court in New York state. IOC official says the development will 'accelerate' its investigation, which could lead to her being stripped of medals.

Former Olympic track and field superstar Marion Jones pleaded guilty today to federal criminal charges that she lied to investigators about her illegal steroid use before her five-medal performance at the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney.

The admission, made in U.S. District Court in White Plains, N.Y., follows years of Jones' impassioned denials of performance-enhancing drug use and maintains clouds of doubt over sports' greatest accomplishments in this steroid era. The 31-year-old sprinter and long jumper faces sentencing later this year for making false statements.



She has told friends and family members that she expects to receive a six-month jail sentence, and outside court today said she was "retiring from the sport of track and field, a sport which I deeply love."

"It is with a great amount of shame that I say I have betrayed your trust," Jones said. "I have let my country down."

Funny how the partial article doesn't even mention that the substance has a name, "The Clear", due to it's not being able to have been picked up by banned-substance tests until VERY recently.
