Former Olympic sprinter Marion Jones has made the roster for the WNBA's Tulsa Shock. The 34-year-old Jones, the oldest rookie in the league, is known for her triumphs as a track sprinter at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, and later for having her five medals taken away for using steroids. She won a national championship in 1994 as the point guard for North Carolina's team.
