Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones is due in a U.S. District Courtroom in White Plains, N.Y., on Friday to make a stunning admission - and plead guilty to charges she used steroids.
The plea comes after years of angry denials by Jones, 31, who in 2000 won five medals in Sydney - three gold and two bronze track and field medals - and was the most celebrated female athlete of the games.
Jones is expected to be stripped of her medals in light of the revelations. Under the statute of limitations, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and other sports organizations have eight years to withdraw medals and nullify results.

"Jones is expected to be stripped of her medals in light of the revelations."
Good. I'm getting mighty sick of these spoiled-brat athletes and the expectation that they're above rules that apply to the rest of us.
I expect to see her working produce at a Super Wal-Mart soon.
