Legendary US Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton is facing charges of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs after she was arrested in her West Virginia hometown earlier this month.

According to court records, Retton was arrested in Fairmount in Marion County on 17 May. She was released the same day after paying a $1,500 bond (£1,100) and has not yet entered a plea.

Retton, 57, shot to global fame after becoming the first American woman to win the all-around gold for gymnastics at the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
