Mary Lou Retton pleads no contest to DUI charge, vows to make 'positive changes'
"What happened was completely unacceptable. I make no excuses. To my family, friends and my fans: I have let you down, and for that I am deeply sorry."
"According to the Associated Press, Retton was pulled over on May 17 by police responding to a report about a Porsche being driven erratically."
Mary Lou Retton, the Olympic gold medalist, recently pleaded no contest to a DUI charge after being arrested for erratic driving in West Virginia. Retton acknowledged her unacceptable behavior and expressed deep remorse in a statement, stating her commitment to learn from the incident. She has since faced challenges beyond this incident, as her daughter revealed that Retton is battling a rare form of pneumonia while uninsured, prompting an online fundraiser that raised nearly $500,000 to help with medical expenses.
