Former track star Marion Jones will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Show to discuss her use of anabolic steroids, her perjury conviction and her time in prison as a result on Wednesday, October 29, 2008.

Jones says she lied when the feds presented her with a designer steroid known as “the clear” during the course of the BALCO steroid investigation.

“They pulled out a vial and pushed it across the table,” Jones said during the interview, which is scheduled to be broadcast Wednesday on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”

“When they showed it to me and they said this is the substance, and I knew that I had taken that substance, I made the decision that I was gonna lie and I was gonna, you know, try and cover it up.” 

Her admission of the use of banned performance enhancing substances led to a conviction for perjury. The judge decided to make an example out of her for lying about steroid use and sentenced her to six months in prison.
