Suzy Favor Hamilton Olympic runner / call girl.

At least her customers got their moneys worth. She might have won Big Ten Conference of the year, but don't expect any mother or wife of the year awards.

Suzy Favor Hamilton was such a sports icon that the Big Ten Conference's female-athlete-of-the-year award is named for the former Wisconsin runner. That image is in stunning contrast with Hamilton's admission that she spent parts of the last year as a $600-an-hour call girl. In a story first reported by thesmokinggun.com and on her Twitter feed, Hamilton took full responsibility for what she called "a huge mistake." She said depression had contributed to her decision to work for a Las Vegas-based escort service. The Smoking Gun story recounts how Hamilton, a three-time Olympian, nine-time NCAA champion and three-time Big Ten female athlete of the year, was leading a dual life: mother, wife, motivational speaker, sponsor representative and real estate professional based in Madison, Wis.; call girl in Las Vegas, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and other cities. "I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression," the 44-year-old Hamilton tweeted Thursday. "I cannot emphasize enough how sorry I am to anyone I have hurt as a result of my actions and greatly appreciate the support from family and those closest to me. I fully intend to make amends and get back to being a good mother, wife, daughter, and friend."

She has made some major mistakes; is being honest and taking responsibility for them. There is a lot of healing and forgiveness that needs to happen within her life and her family's life.

One of the things that I see for her future; is a book deal; it may end up being a best seller.

She got men to give her $600 an hour for that boney frame?

They should give her a medal.

I think its a little harsh to say that choosing to work as a prostitute makes you a bad mother. In many countries prostitution is legal and people are fine with it.

I dont think that the profession makes her a bad person or any other woman a bad person.

I think it does when you do it behind the back of your loved ones, and risk separating the family. But i understand your point.

so what ... ive no idea who she is ... but we should all just leave her alone ...
advertising her mistakes on places like this is just gonna add to her misery ... for the sake of a gossip of someone who shouldnt matter to you personally...

think of some of your shameful mistakes .. how would u feel if i posted them here for all to see

ETA - in sayin that .. i guess she posted her mistakes first .. but still .. we should rise above petty gossip like this ... spend your time soaking up meaningful knowledge instead ... okay .. fine .. ill move along now

What goes on between consenting adults isnt news and shouldnt be a crime.

Just more government hammer swinging and "moral majority" tripe.

Government, let my people go!

isn't that the oldest
known profession

so how did this come to light?
did she get busted ?
or did one of her Johns recognize her
and blow the whistle

You are right.

But yeah, if she was honest about it or single, then I wouldnt think any less of her for what she does.

$600 an hour for a 44 year old call girl. Or $6000 a night. Some folks really know how to waste their cash. She's not all that. Now if that was Robin Meade of CNN, I would purchase a day or two or three or four hundred.
