The American athlete had an abortion the day before she joined the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when she brought home the gold medal.

A decade after winning the gold medal Sanya Richards – Ross revealed that when she crossed the finish line, she was carrying a terrible secret.

Exactly a day before flying to Beijing for the Olympic Games, Richards – Ross had an abortion

The incredible confession was made by the athlete in her tell-all book, entitled: ‘Chasing Grace: What the Mile Quarter Has Taught Me about God and Life’.

At that time, Sanya was engaged to football player Aaron Ross and they planned to tie the knot by 2010

However, the pregnancy was a surprise and the fact that she found out days before the Olympic Games was terrible.

‘At that moment I didn’t seem to have another choice. The Olympic Games had to be the crowning of my entire work’, revealed the former champion.

Apparently, Sanya Richards – Ross told everything to her fiancée before she went further with the abortion.

“He will forever be part of me. A scary letter that I did not realize I would wear it all my life. I was a champion – and not an ordinary one, but a world class champion, a champion who shot down records, but from the height of reality I fell into the depth of despair, “confesses the athlete in the book.

The day after, the track and field athlete fled to Beijing, where she won the gold medal and the bronze at the 300-meter-race.
