Not only that, but eventually Tom's wife sues the police department for releasing that tape and ultimately getting Tom killed and she's awarded two million dollars.

Good for her.

So what do professional mountain bike riders do after they get seriously injured?

Well, this one became a drug trafficker.

Now the woman's name is Missy and Missy is 29 when this story starts and she's living in Colorado.

And Missy is really, really good at professional mountain bike racing.

Like she won 14 titles and 11 World Cups and the 1994 World Championship.

She's actually a playable character in a PlayStation 2 bike racing game.

And here you can see she's being interviewed on Conan O'Brien's old show.

I mean, you get it.

She's good at what she does and she's very famous in that world.

But one day in 2001, all that starts to change because Missy is doing a practice run and suddenly, boom, she goes flying over the handlebars, knocks herself unconscious and dislocates her shoulder.

But a little injury is not going to stop her.

Against medical advice, she decides to go right back to racing.

And midway through a run, she loses control again, she goes flying over the handlebars again, and pow, she slams her head into the ground.

However, this time the damage is serious.

Her brain starts bleeding.

And she goes and she gets medical attention and she finds out that she now has a brain hemorrhage.

And because of this, she's in excruciating pain.

She can barely open her eyes because it hurts so much.
