The arrest comes more than one year after the gold medalist overcame what she described as a life-threatening battle with a rare form of pneumonia. It required a nearly two-week stay in the intensive care unit. After she was released from the hospital, she continued her recovery for a time at home.
Retton was the first American female gymnast to will the all around at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. She was 16 at the time.
