Sports stars and reality TV: Recapturing the glory days

NFL star Hines Ward (L), who won "Dancing With the Stars", dances in Times Square on May 25, 2011 in New York Throughout their careers, sports stars sweat under the white heat of media attention for the fortune and glory that comes with winning at the top level. In increasing numbers, many are turning to reality television in a bid to recapture the adrenaline rush, fame -- and money -- that they enjoyed during their playing career. Sailing pioneer Florence Arthaud, retired swimming gold medallist Camille Muffat and boxer Alexis Vastine, who died in a tragic helicopter accident in Argentina on Monday while filming "Dropped", a survival reality TV show, were all at different stages of their lives and careers. Examples are legion: English cricketer Mark Ramprakash won British dancing competition "Strictly Come Dancing" -- just ahead of rugby star Matt Dawson.
