Disgraced sprinter Marion Jones has signed an undisclosed contract to play basketball for the Tulsa Shock (moved from Detroit in the offseason?!?) to replace a player or two who are not making the move.
Why the cr@p the WNBA wants to deal with the PED issue, I have no clue....

Re: Marion Jones Making Waves Again
Is she still on them? I would guess because basketball doesn't require your to have world class speed and training involves running seperators instead of intense regemine where PED would aid attaining that needed speed, I'd say no she's not still on them. And maybe she's good?SuperHornet wrote:Disgraced sprinter Marion Jones has signed an undisclosed contract to play basketball for the Tulsa Shock (moved from Detroit in the offseason?!?) to replace a player or two who are not making the move.

...that said, this is a publicity stunt to attract fans. Just like Manute of skates.
"Elaine, you're from Baltimore, right?"
"Yes, well, Towson actually."

Re: Marion Jones Making Waves Again
Marion comes into my store all the time. She has 3 kids and is very happy. I doubt she is on anything any longer. She's actually a really nice person who, I think, got into something on advice of her coach. She paid the price and paid her dues. Let it go folks.
BTW - her kids are adorable.
