Hope Solo

Hope Solo, a soccer goalie, made several saves to help Team USA upset Brazil and win the gold medal in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. After finishing fourth on Dancing With the Stars in 2011, she tested positive for a prescription substance that was illegal in the country. Before the 2012 Summer Games, the Anti-Doping Agency forewarned her. She helped the United States side win the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, for which she received the Golden Glove award as the year’s top goalkeeper. She contemplated skipping the 2016 Summer Games due to her concerns regarding the Zika virus, but she ultimately decided to participate in order to win a third gold medal.
