Jones files defamation suit
SAN FRANCISCO,
DEC. 16.
Olympic champion Marion Jones filed a defamation lawsuit on Wednesday against BALCO head Victor Conte, who told a U.S. television audience that he gave her steroids and watched her inject herself with them.
Jones is seeking $25 million in the suit, alleging Conte tarnished her reputation when he made the statement on December 3 on the programme `20/20.' Conte and three others connected to the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative were indicted in February by a federal grand jury for a variety of alleged offences, including illegally distributing steroids.
The suit, filed in a U.S. District Court, said Jones passed a lie detector test and includes a statement from her doctor saying she never used steroids. — AP
