Marion Jones Upholds Her Stance on Drug-Free Competition

Marion Jones, Olympic track runner, has been called on to testify because her supplier, Victor Conte, was found to have performance enhancing substances in his possession, such as human growth hormone. Jones states that, "I'm for a drug-free sport, I always have been and I always will be. That's my position. I've never taken performance-enhancing drugs and I never will. It's as simple as that.'' Marion has recently given birth to a son which has hindered her training, but she expects to be in top performance shape in time for the competitions.
