Three-time Olympic runner Suzy Favor Hamilton (1992, 1996, 2000) is now revealing her past, double life as a Las Vegas call girl. The 47-year-old is being interviewed on TV shows including Good Morning America and 20/20 and promoting her memoir, Fast Girl: A Life Spent Running from Madness.
On TV and in her book, Hamilton explains how she staged her fall at the 2000 Sydney Games and then after a threesome with an escort in Vegas, Suzy had a “light bulb moment.” She thought, “Wow, why shouldn’t I get paid for sex?” Hamilton joined an escort service in Vegas and charged $600 per hour. She was later diagnosed as bipolar which she says is a cause of the risky behavior. She was – and still is – married to her husband Mark. They have a ten-year-old daughter, Kylie.
