Tonya Harding – 50 – Boxer

Tonya Harding is known as an Olympic figure skate and athlete who is a native of Oregon. Since she was four years old, she was trained to become a professional figure skater by her mother. However, as she slowly makes a name for herself, Harding’s name was dragged into a controversy. She was charged guilty of a planned attack with skater rival Nancy Kerrigan, with the help of a few other men including Hardin’s boyfriend and bodyguard. The controversy has led her to be banned in U.S. Figure Skating forever and her title was revoked in 1994.

Harding had to talk to her attorney as she was also slapped with a $160,000 fine. Despite her guilt in the case, Harding was able to escape jail time. After her failure in the sport where she was good at, Harding gets herself busy these days by being one of the casts of Dancing with the Stars.
