I did read somewhere - a book, a magazine, can't remember which - that said her life after winning wasn't an easy one. She was, after all, born in a country where the athletes were treated like tools to promote and further the country's glory in the name of the fatherland. She was smuggled into the USA and her "boyfriend" at that time turned out to be some creep who held her captive. Or something.

It's not a pleasant life of rosy sponsorships by all means for sweet lil' Nadia in those days. Poor thing.
