WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Jan. 11 (UPI) -- U.S. track star Marion Jones, who surrendered her Olympic medals after admitting to doping, was sentenced Friday to six months in prison.
Jones, 32, pleaded guilty in October to lying to federal investigators in 2003 during a larger sports doping investigation and a check-fraud case. At the same time she admitted to using a banned substance from September 2000 to July 2001 -- during the Sydney Olympic Games.
