Jones wants to keep the “Title IX” dream aliveMarion Jones, the former Olympic sprinter who pleaded guilty to using steroids during the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, now gives inspirational talks to colleges and universities. Recently, she was a guest lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business Initiative series on race in sports.

She finds it her mission to talk about steroids and other performance enhancing drugs to student athletes after she was released from imprisonment at the Federal Medical Center-Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas for 6 months.

She pleaded guilty in October 2007 to lying to federal investigators about taking performance-enhancing substances, resulting for her medals to be stripped from her. Her running records have also been wiped clean.

She also talked about making the right and wrong decisions. She explained how one poor judgment could take away all your dreams.

She has been forever grateful for the Title IX legislation, which gave all opportunity for female athletes to compete equally in sports.

She wanted the Title IX dream to continue especially for black female athletes. It could give them the opportunity to go to college and acquire a degree, which would otherwise be unavailable to them without a scholarship.

From Philly:

Steroids, like any drug, have the ability to change things. They can increase muscle mass, strength, and even speed.

But for Marion Jones, they changed her life.
