Suzy Favor-Hamilton Profile: The Olympic Athlete Turned Hooker !

Just in case you haven't heard before of Suzy Favor-Hamilton, Suzy is a former three time Olympic runner, who has dumped her athletic career to become a $600 hour hooker!







Needless to say that both the athletic world and her family are shocked by the raunchy revelations that Suzy has been moonlighting as a Las Vegas call girl and now they are trying hard to come to terms with the married 44-year-old mother's  double life under the alias of Kelly Lundy.

In detail,  Suzy Favor-Hamilton was born in a small Wisconsin town in 1968.  Her early life had absolutely nothing to do with the disreputable scandal plagued strip Sin City. Suzy started running at the tender age of nine and favored the track over keg parties as a teenager, winning 11 state high school titles and being crowned as one of the 100 High School Athletes of the Century by Scholastic Sports Magazine.

Hamilton used to be a one-man-woman after being swept off her feet in her freshman year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison by baseball pitcher Mark Hamilton, and the two tied the knot two weeks after graduation.

While winning the heart of her future husband and numerous medals as a collegiate athlete, Suzy struggled with an eating disorder throughout her student years and strived to be as skinny as a rival runner who was seriously anorexic. "I thought: "I guess I need to look like her,"" Hamilton revealed to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal last summer.

Even at her peek Suzy struggled with emotional issues from the forceful tension to win. "There were those demons in your brain telling you you're not good enough, you're not fast enough, you need to be better," Suzy was quoted as saying. "The pressure to win was great." After coming home empty-handed from both the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, Favor-Hamilton was accused of being an unfortunate person who is unable to perform effectively because of her nervous tension. As a result, she didn't have the motive to win when it mattered.

The 2000 Olympics were dominated by Suzy's misfortune over the suicide of her beloved brother, Dan Favor, who suffered from bi-polar disorder and jumped off an eight-story building in September 1999 after coming off his meds. Instead of winning a medal in his honor, Hamilton on purpose crashed and burned in a heap on the track. "Coming around that (last) corner the anxiety gripped me so bad. It told my brain: "Just fall. That's the easiest solution. Just fall, and this all will go away." That was the only way out," Hamilton claimed.

While certainly the most shocking revelation, Favor's "sex for sale" scandal isn't the first time she has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons. After the Sydney games, Hamilton starred in a controversial Nike ad that portrayed her living in a big house near a forest on a dark, creepy night when a chainsaw-wielding masked killer makes an appearance and attempts to murder her, reminiscent of classic horror films. Suzy succeeds in outrunning him thanks to her Nike sneakers, and the commercial closes with the message: "Why sport? You'll live longer."

The commercial sparked outrage from protestors who argued that it made light of violence against women, while others said it was just too scary to watch, especially for kids.

It has to be mentioned that Suzy Favor-Hamilton has fought her own battle with depression, which she blames for "inspiring" her to start working at the premier Las Vegas escort service Haley Heston last December, and takes the antidepressant Zoloft in an attempt to mask the demons that haunt her. On the other hand, Suzy doesn't regret her decicion to work as a hooker and even describes her profession as "exciting" and a diversion away from the routine that had become her daily life...

What do you think of Suzy Favor-Hamilton's decision to work as a hooker?
