Jones claimed she had never taken performance-enhancing drugs. “That was a lie, your honor,” she said from the defense table. This investigation has been ongoing since 2003. The trial related to this investigation is scheduled for November 26, 2007 in California.

Jones also pleaded guilty to making false about her knowledge of a check-cashing scheme to the New York U.S. Department of Homeland Security Special Agent leading a broad financial investigation that already convicted Jones' father of her child, former world record holder and "World's Fastest Man, Tim Montgomery. Montgomery was striped of this title after he recieved a 2 year ban for steroid use learned during the BALCO investigation; her sports agent, Charles Wells, and her coach, 1976 Olympic gold medalist, Steven Riddick.

Jones is now expected to testify against her former coach, Trevor Graham, who is awaiting trial in San Francisco on charges that he lied to federal agents.
