Marion Jones, via satellite from Austin, on ‘Oprah’ today
Disgraced Olympic track star Marion Jones talks with Oprah Winfrey today about the shame and pain she felt after admitting to her family that she used steroids.
In her first TV interview since being stripped of her gold medals and sentenced to six months in prison, Jones spoke to the Chicago media mogul via satellite from her home in Austin.
“Oprah” airs today at 4 p.m. on KVUE Channel 24.
Jones, a media darling during her track heyday, was recently sentenced for lying to investigators about using performance-enhancing drugs and about her role in a check-fraud scam.
Although Winfrey might be a sympathetic interviewer, she is likely to ask tough questions about Jones’ repeated denials about steroid use over the years. Expect tears to flow.
