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."
