Former Olympics champion Marion Jones has shared some disturbing health update, showing how the once dominant sprinter is now struggling to walk.
Once the fastest woman on the planet, former Olympic champion Marion Jones now faces a daunting daily challenge: simply walking down a flight of stairs. A recent video has highlighted the stark reality of her life after athletics.
Jones, who captured three gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, saw her career unravel after a doping scandal. She was stripped of her medals, served six months in jail, and went from a celebrated hero to a controversial figure.
In 2020, the 50-year-old was diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica, a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system. The condition left her temporarily paralyzed and forced her to relearn how to walk.

A new video posted to her Instagram account has given her followers a glimpse into her ongoing battle. Captioned, "they (her knees) are hanging on by a thread, fam… but we’re still standin'," the clip shows the once-dominant sprinter cautiously descending a staircase, holding the railing and pausing with each step.

Jones Receives Outpouring of Emotions
The post, which has garnered over 180,000 likes and thousands of comments, drew an outpouring of support from fans.

Another commented on the harsh physical toll of a professional athletic career: "This is the real reality of athletes….. those knees and other joints def remind you of your age and your limits."
Neuromyelitis optica primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord. "I was admitted to a rehabilitation centre to learn how to walk again," Jones stated earlier this year. "It was devastating to hear that I had an auto-immune disease."

Former US Sprinter Admitted to Using Drugs
Jones is not the only track legend to face physical challenges in retirement. Eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt has also admitted to getting out of breath when climbing stairs.
The news of Jones's condition coincides with the recent passing of Victor Conte, the man who supplied her with performance-enhancing drugs. Conte, 75, died last week after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
In 2005, he pleaded guilty to steroid distribution and money laundering, having supplied drugs to high-profile athletes including Jones and baseball stars Barry Bonds and Jason Giambi.
