UNDATED -- Hours after Marion Jones’ first televised interview since being released from jail, former BALCO head Victor Conte disclosed how he taught the disgraced Olympic champion how to inject human growth hormone in a Southern California hotel room.

In an email to KTVU, sparked by comments Jones made on the nationally syndicated show Oprah Winfrey Show, Conte criticized her for continuing “to lie.”

Conte was pivotal in Jones fall from grace. As the founder of BALCO, he provided performance enhancing drugs to several athletes and a probe into his operation triggered one of the largest federal investigations into illegal drug use by athletes in U.S. history.

Conte was convicted and served time in a federal penitentiary.

“I cannot believe Marion Jones continues to lie,” Conte said in his email. “Enough is enough. She knowingly used performance enhancing drugs and has already been to prison for lying about it in the first place.”

Conte then described a meeting with Jones during the Mt. San Antonio College Relays in Walnut, Calif., in April 2001.

“I sat down with Marion Jones in my hotel room at the Embassy Suites in West Covina,” he said. “I showed her something I had brought with me called a Novopen. It was a cartridge injector pen that contained 45 units of Norditropin growth hormone.”

“The injector contained enough liquid for ten injections. I instructed her how to inject herself with 4.5 units of growth hormone and told her to follow the same protocol three times per week.”

“I taught her to change the needle, dial up the dosage, disperse any air in the chamber, and inject the drug,” the email continued. “When she left my room, she took the Novopen with her so she could administer her own injections thereafter.”

Jones told Oprah Winfrey she often thinks she would have won gold medals at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, even if she hadn't taken a designer steroid known as "the clear."

"I'll ask myself, `Well, if you hadn't been given "the clear," do you think you would've won?"' Jones said on an episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show" broadcast Wednesday, her first post-prison interview.

"I usually answer, 'Yes."'

Jones, 33, apologized to her teammates and tearfully read a letter she wrote in prison, in which she told her children she lied to federal prosecutors because she didn't love herself enough to tell the truth.

Jones described how prosecutors showed her a vial of a designer steroid and asked if she'd taken it. She said she immediately recognized it as a substance her former coach, Trevor Graham, had given her, but then she lied.

"I made the decision I was going to lie and try to cover it up," Jones said on Winfrey's show, which was taped. "I knew that all of my performances would be questioned."

She maintained she thought the substance was flaxseed oil when her coach gave it to her, but she later learned from prosecutors that it was the designer steroid. Last week, a federal judge sentenced Graham to a year of home confinement for lying to federal investigators.

Jones was released last month from a Texas federal prison after completing most of her six-month sentence for lying about doping and her role in a check-fraud scam.

After long denying she had ever used performance-enhancing drugs, Jones admitted in federal court last year that she used the designer steroid from September 2000 to July 2001. Jones was stripped of three gold medals and two bronzes she won in Sydney after the admission.

Jones said on Winfrey's show that her sentence was fair and that losing her medals was fair, too, because of the "question mark" surrounding her performance. She said she will never run again and wants to find a way to inspire young people to make better decisions than she did.

"I don't have athletics anymore to hide behind," Jones said. "In the past, it was Marion Jones, the athlete. ... I don't have that cover anymore. I have really had to find out who I am and why I make certain choices."

Jones' U.S. relay teammates have filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport seeking to retain their 2000 Olympic medals. The International Olympic Committee disqualified her teammates, but conceded none of them broke any rules.

Prodded by Winfrey, Jones apologized to her teammates for lying to prosecutors.

"When I stepped on that track, I thought everybody was drug-free, including myself," Jones said. "I apologize for having to put everybody through all of this.

"I'm trying to move on. I hope that everybody else can move on, too."
