Disgraced Olympic sprinter Marion Jones is hoping to make a sporting comeback in women's professional basketball, the New York Times reported Monday. The 34-year-old was released from prison last year after serving most of a six-month sentence for lying about her use of steroids and has been working out on the basketball court since October. Jones, who played basketball at the University of North Carolina and won a national championship, is hoping to pick up a deal in Europe and then sign for a WNBA team in time for the 2010, the paper said. “It would give me an opportunity to share my message to young people on a bigger platform and give me an opportunity to get a second chance,” Jones said.
