Interesting read:
Three-time Olympian runner Suzy Favor Hamilton has admitted to leading a double life as an escort.
She apologized Thursday after The Smoking Gun website reported she had been working as a prostitute in Las Vegas.
The 44-year-old Favor Hamilton lives in Madison, Wis., where she owns a realty company with her husband. The Smoking Gun said she has been working for the past year for an escort service.
Soon after the story appeared online, Hamilton released a series of tweets, saying that she was "drawn to escorting in large part because it provided many coping mechanisms for me when I was going through a very challenging time with my marriage and my life."
A middle-distance runner, Favor Hamilton competed for the U.S. at the Olympics in 1992, 1996 and 2000, but did not win a medal. She won seven U.S. national titles.
Hamilton, who went to Wisconsin, is the most decorated female runner in NCAA track and field history, has appeared in a Nike commercial and has done promotional work for the Disney and Rock 'n' Roll Marathon running series.
