One must clarify the followings:

--Why didn't she complain/leak years before when she was still at her prime? Why wait that long? If that was unpleasant to her and  worthy of public leakage, why not do it earlier? Just how coersive that was?What frequency of physical contact would make #of affairs into a 'relation'? I think coercion or not is the main narrative here

--For top athletes of physically demanding sports, I think retirement is always an abrupt decision/unplanned, like losing to rivals repeatedly. Working out 6hrs/day cut to 3hrs/day is meaningless as 'planned retirement'(which does make sense financially however)
