Ex-USWNT goalie Hope Solo discusses DUI, rehab and postpartum depression

Former United States goalkeeper Hope Solo spoke out in a podcast four months after she was arrested for driving drunk, saying it was the worst mistake of her life and putting part of the blame on her inability to function due to having no support and postpartum depression.

Solo was arrested March 31 and charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest and misdemeanor child abuse after someone saw Solo passed out in a vehicle with the engine running for more than an hour in a Wal-Mart parking lot in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Her 2-year old twins she has with her husband, former NFL player Jerramy Stevens, were with her at the time in the back seat.
