Preface
It is very common for people to be set up in the entertainment industry, like Zhang Yuqi's "sexy", Chen He's "genius", etc., but if it collapses, it will be a loss for adults, like Zhai Tianlin's "Xueba" collapses, and it directly allows it to enter the existence of "no return".
In fact, not only in the entertainment industry, but also in the sports circle, it is very common for them to "collapse their personalities", they are glamorous athletes or sponsors in the stadium, but what they do off the field is shocking, and they have "turned black".
Today, let's take a look at a few athletes who "collapsed" in the sports festival and see if there is anything you like!!
Zhang Jike: "Genius Boy" to "Sven Scum"
As the fastest player to win a Grand Slam in the history of table tennis, Zhang Jike deserves to be the "first brother of table tennis", since 2002, when he won the men's singles championship of the first World Junior Challenge, he began to write his own "legendary road", but in 2023, he instantly fell from the altar and "collapsed" and moved out of the national team.
In March 2023, a piece of news about Zhang Jike came out, which detailed all the things Zhang Jike did in private, as well as his gambling, and even Zhang Jike's autographed IOU.
As soon as this incident came out, the whole network was boiling, and for all kinds of accusations and direct evidence, Zhang Jike directly fell into the target of public criticism, and the brands he signed with also chose to cancel the cooperation and remove relevant Weibo and publicity, such as FAW Toyota, Mousse mattress, Nordland, etc.
For these problems, Zhang Jike also chose to remain silent, and there are news reports, since 2004, Zhang Jike has been infected with gambling, because he lost money and had no face to see people leave the team, but because of his excellent results, he was transferred back to the national team, I thought he had changed his ways, but he didn't expect his fame to become even worse.
Netizens didn't expect that the table tennis "Demon King" turned out to be a "gambler", in order to pay off gambling debts, he even sent private videos of himself and his ex-girlfriend to the creditor, Zhang Jike, who looks polite, didn't expect to be a "Sven scum", after the time came out, he was not only expelled from the national team, but the character that had been established for many years also collapsed, becoming the existence of "a thousand people".

Ryan Rochette
Rochette is the pinnacle of his debut, with 6 Olympic gold medals, 18 world championship gold medals, and the men's 200m medley record holder, 100, 200, 400 medley short course world record holder, and these records were broken after the ban on wearing shark swim trunks, he is considered a "legend" in the swimming world.
In life, Rochette is also a gentleman, no matter talking to people or doing things, he will make people very comfortable, but since 2012, these characters he has set up have been shattered by himself one by one.
During the London Olympics, Rochette's participation also attracted a lot of attention, which also made some media photograph him in nightclubs for fun, and even his mother called him a "playboy" and liked to have one-night stands, especially in the Olympic Village.
Rochette once said that during the Olympic Games, 70%~75% of the athletes will have sex with other athletes in the Olympic Village, and he himself sometimes chooses to go, especially at the London Olympics, and since then the performance of "chaotic private life" has hung on his head.

During the Rio Olympics, Rochette himself staged a "robbery" scene, saying that when he returned from a party with his teammates, he was robbed at gunpoint by a fake police officer at a gas station, but when the police investigated clearly, it was Rochette and others who caused sabotage after drinking and started a conflict with the security personnel.

Finally, after the negotiation of the International Olympic Committee, the United States Olympic Committee and the United States Swimming Association, they were banned for 10 months, and their actions also attracted a lot of ridicule from the media and the audience.
Marion Jones
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Marion Jones won three championships in the women's 100m, 200m, 4×100m relay, and became another "female flyer" after Griffith-Joyna.
In 2002, the Balco laboratory doping scandal broke out, and many sports stars were caught in the turmoil, and Jones was no exception, but she always claimed that she had not used doping, and swore by it, but within a few years, the Washington Post exposed a letter from Jones.
Due to the pressure of public opinion, Jones had to admit that she had used doping herself, to which she said, "I apologize for everything I have done, I'm sorry to disappoint you", and the gold medal won at the Sydney Olympics was withdrawn.
In the letter, she said that she began taking steroids from Balco Labs in 1999, when her coach told her that it was not against the rules, and she started taking it without knowing it, and she did not know that she had been doping until November 2003, and after admitting that the 31-year-old Jones also announced her retirement.

After a review by the federal court, Jones was sentenced to 6 months in prison, and since then the generation of "female flyers" has collapsed and she has been imprisoned.
Korean women's figure skating
In the first two months of training for the Korean figure skating team, two athletes disobeyed discipline and produced a number of inappropriate behaviors, such as alcoholism, sexual assault, etc., under the pressure of many South Korean media, the Korean Skating Association also announced the ban on the two players.
According to the Korean network, these two players, one is the 2023 World Figure Skating Championships women's singles silver medalist Li Hairen (19 years old), and the other is the 2019 figure skating Four Continents Championships women's singles silver medalist Liu Yong (20 years old), each of them is a big beauty.

In the eyes of the public, Lee Hae-in is the "fairy" of Korean figure skating, her every move on the ice is so elegant, and every jump tugs at the heartstrings of fans.
And Liu Yong, the titular "first sister" of Korean figure skating, in 04 years, she has been "invincible" in the Korean figure skating competition for a long time.
But no one thought that they, who were sought after as idols by many people, would actually do such a thing, and it was their junior brother who was sexually assaulted by them, and I don't know how much damage this incident would bring him.
However, the punishment for the two of them has not yet been determined, and if it is confirmed, then the two main forces of South Korean figure skating women's singles may not be able to participate in the 2026 Milan Winter Olympics, and the pure character that has been established will also collapse.
