Sprint queen Jones admits doping

The Post, in a story posted on its website, said Jones had written to family and friends to tell them she would plead guilty on Friday to lying to federal agents about her drug use.

The New York Daily News, citing law enforcement sources, said Jones would appear in federal court in White Plains, New York, on Friday and plead guilty to two counts of lying to a federal agent.

The Post, citing a letter Jones had sent to "close family and friends," said the 31-year-old athlete admitted using a steroid in the build-up to the Sydney Games, where her five medals included three golds.
