And if she moves around too much, she'll throw up.

And this goes on for like three months.

The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

Now, you would think that after these injuries, this would be the end of her career.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

But you'd be wrong.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

She still isn't ready to give up biking.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

I mean, she loves it.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

It's how she makes her living.

The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

She's not about to quit.

But then in 2002, it gets really bad because she's over in Slovenia racing and doing her thing and kaboom, she crashes again.

The next year in 2003, she crashes again and she ends up dislocating her shoulder again and she also breaks her wrist.

And by this point, Missy has been doing this extreme sport for a really long time.

She's broken over 40 bones and suffered at least 10 concussions.

Because it seems like Missy doesn't really have a post-race career plan mapped out.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

She doesn't really have a job anymore, so no steady income, no sponsorship deals.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast

She doesn't even have health insurance.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast

And to make it worse, she now has permanent damage from some of her injuries.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

She suffers from chronic headaches and seizures and pain that just never goes away.

Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast
The Pro Athlete Turned Drug Smuggler - The Missy Giove Story

And you know, she smokes a little Zaza every now and then to help with that pain, but that's just not a permanent solution.

So Missy ends up needing to make some money.
