Jones is currently serving a six-month jail term for lying about steroid use.
At the Sydney Olympics, she helped the US to victory in the 4x400m and 4x100m relay finals.
She was teamed with Jearl-Miles Clark, Monique Hennagan, LaTasha Colander-Richardson and Andrea Anderson in the 4x400m squad, and with Chryste Gaines, Torri Edwards, Nanceen Perry and Passion Richardson in the 4x100m.
Perry is not part of the appeal.
