Marion Jones-”Broke as Hell”

Posted by Brian

Marion Jones, one of track’s 1st female millionaires and winner of 5 Olympic track and field medals is BROKE as Hell.

According to court records reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, Marion is heavily in debt and down to a bank balance of $2000. Last year the bank foreclosed on her $2.5 million mansion in Chapel Hill, NC and she was also forced to sell two other properties, including her mother’s house, to raise money. Not too long ago, Jones was typically earning $70,000-80,000 a race + another 1 million from bonuses and endorsement deals.

All this stems from legal bills which have plaqued Jones since 2003, when suspicions arose of her using Performance enhancing drugs. An initial urine sample did test positive last year, but  the backup sample later tested negative.

I feel sorry for Marion, so beautiful and such a great athlete. Now, she can’t even afford an old Honda Accord and looks like her momma is homeless. In the words of Martin Lawrence-Damn, Damn, Damn!

    Wow look at that head and manly features, was there ever any doubt. Marion, U reap what you sew. You wanna hang with these cast of felons and roid freaks, strut around like the cock of the walk, being catered too and on the A-list. But Marion what were you without the JUICE? You were an isignificant nobody and now Marion you are a disgrace. I hope you didnt step on too many people on your way up. You might just need some help. But right now, I dont think people would give you the steam off their shit..
