SAN ANTONIO -- Disgraced track star Marion Jones is training for a comeback - in the WNBA.

San Antonio Silver Stars coach Dan Hughes confirmed Monday night that Jones has been training with his assistants to possibly play in the WNBA, more than a year after the 34-year-old was released from federal prison for lying about her doping use.

The New York Times first reported that Jones has been working on her skills and conditioning in San Antonio since October. Jones told the newspaper she received a call in May from someone in the NBA asking if she might play in the WNBA.

Jones played college basketball at North Carolina.

wasn't sure if this should go in T&F or other sports.

TnF is what the world knows her for. I would doubt if she will have a meaningful career at this age, but she is the most determined athlete maybe still, so she will make a team somewhere I think...

Who knows, who knows. I still rooting for her. You see Ato, if you had taken her under you wings she would not have been in that position.

You know what i always have been a fan and whatever she did in her past was a mistake and she has learned from that and trying to make a new start so im behind her 100%. As Ato say there is little hope at that age BUT she is a very determined person! so i know she will be in that field at sometime in the near future.
