Suzy Favor Hamilton’s prostitute past got her name stripped from the Big Ten award. Suzy Favor Hamilton admitted that she’d worked as a prostitute before she won the Big Ten female athlete of the year award in track at the Olympics. Big Ten spokesman said a three time Olympian Suzy Favor Hamilton’s name was removed from the award after talks between the league and Wisconsin.

Suzy Favor Hamilton prostitute pictures were revealed on TheSmokingGun.com in a story that claimed she had worked as a $600 an hour call girl for a premier Las Vegas escort service. The Drake Relays crowd favorite immediately took to Twitter to explain, "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. I 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."

In 2012, Favor Hamilton told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that she was coping with anxiety, an eating disorder and had been struggling with postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter. She said her call girl name was “Kelly Lundy.”

One of the last week winners of the Big Ten Award that bore her name was Minnesota hockey player Amanda Kessel who was also the national player of the year after she led her team, the Gophers, to a second straight NCAA title after an undefeated season.

Before Favor was outed, she had been hired for to speak at Disneyland. She was also the pitchwoman for the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association.
