Jones files lawsuit after steroid claims

Marion Jones has filed a multi-million euro lawsuit for defamation against the man who alleged he supplied the former Olympic sprint champion with performance-enhancing drugs.

Jones is seeking more than $25m (€18m) in her lawsuit against Victor Conte, the founder of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO), the company at the centre of a doping scandal which has implicated many of the United States’ top sportspeople.
