AUSTIN, Texas -- A former stripper was sentenced to nearly three-and-a-half years in federal prison Friday for attempting to embezzle more than $1 million from a bank to start her own stock-car racing team. Fatemeh Angela Harkness, 31, pleaded guilty in January 2004 to conspiring with banker Gary Jones to embezzle more than $1 million from his Austin bank from 2000 to 2003. She received a 40-month sentence.
I don't really think car racing is a sport, but I thought I'd include this anyway because of that fact that they call Fatemeh Harkness a "former stripper." Not a former "exotic dancer" but a "stripper." And the fact that they felt it necessary to mention this at all, instead of a "businesswoman who conspired with banker"... yada yada yada.
An Austin, Texas newspaper calls her a stripper:

This 2004 entry calls her a former kindergarten teacher.
