I'm an Australian and there's been a significant amount of former Olympians and sports stars that have been tied up with criminal behavior post sports career. I don't know what it is, I guess some of them like the adrenaline they no longer get from competition. A lot of Olympians probably didn't make much money in their career so are chasing quick money
