Olympian Marion Jones on Changing Her Narrative After Doping Scandal | Spolitics

Jemele is joined by Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones, who discuss her appearance this season on FOX's reality competition show, Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test. Jones explains the grueling physical and mental rigors she went through on the show, which chronicles 16 celebrities across sports, pop culture and social media as they try to survive a series of demanding training exercises led by a team of ex-Special Forces operatives. Jones shares what she learned about herself on the show, and she reflects on the doping scandal that destroyed her Olympic career. She also discusses the launch of her new podcast, “Second Wind” and the reason she’s decided to compete in a triathlon in the late spring.
