Former world 400 meters champion and 2004 Olympic silver medalist Ana Guevara has retired from track and field after recently denouncing corruption in the Mexican Athletics Federation.
Guevara, considered Mexico’s greatest athlete ever, made the announcement at a news conference Wednesday. She said that she was retiring because of problems she faced in 2007, when she requested the removal of Mexican Athletics Federation head Mariano Lara.
The 30-year-old said she could not be part of the Mexican delegation and stay true to her beliefs. Mexico’s National Sports and Culture Commission is investigating Lara for mismanagement of funds. However, track and field’s world governing body has endorsed him.”*
