Marion Jones shocked the world with a video she uploaded about the serious disease who is suffering.
She was one of the top names in sprinting, sweeping all the medals at the world championships and Olympics from 1997 to 2000, but her star stopped shining when she was found to be doping. The reason for Marion Jones.
The now 50-year-old former track and field athlete suffers from a rare autoimmune demyelinating disease, which mainly affects the optic nerves and spinal cord.
The American published a video, in which she refers to the problems she is facing, stressing that she is still asking for help to get down the stairs.
“I’m always asked, ‘Are you Marion Jones?’ You were the fastest woman in the world!” No one asks how my knees are. Well, my knees are hanging by a thread, but I’m still standing,” Marion Jones said.
