Marion Jones used drugs: ex-husband

C.J. Hunter
The ex-husband of three-time Olympic champion Marion Jones told U.S. federal investigators that she used several banned performance-enhancing drugs during the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, two newspapers reported.

Jones won an unprecedented five track and field medals at the Games, three of them gold.

Her attorney has accused C.J. Hunter of lying out of bitterness over the breakup of the couple's marriage.

Hunter told Internal Revenue Service investigators that he injected his then-wife with banned substances and saw Jones inject herself with the drugs at their home in Australia, the San Francisco Chronicle said.

The San Jose Mercury News also reported Hunter's comments, citing anonymous sources.

Human growth hormone, the steroid THG, insulin and the endurance-boosting drug EPO were among the substances Hunter alleged Jones used.

Hunter, the 1999 world shot put champion, tested positive for steroids four times in 2000 -- when he was married to Jones.
