Jones challenges lab CEO to take exam

SAN FRANCISCO, California - Marion Jones, the Olympic sprinter who was cleared of a steroids scandal after passing a lie detector test, has challenged the founder of a laboratory to take a test himself. Victor Conte, CEO of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO), has stated publicly that he supplied Jones with performance-enhancing drugs and witnessed the athlete inject herself with a human growth hormone on one occasion. He has not backed down from his claims, but Jones took - and passed - a polygraph a few months ago. She offered to pay the cost of the exam if Conte submits.
