Comments on: 6 Athletes (and a Coach) Who Lied About Their Age http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23040 Feel Smart Again Mon, 13 Feb 2012 07:18:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.5 By: Julia http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23040/comment-page-1#comment-128449 Julia Fri, 27 Feb 2009 02:08:00 +0000 http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/23040#comment-128449 Brandi Chastain (She of shirt-removing notoriety and the 1999 Women's World Cup) just came out of retirement to play for the Women's Professional Soccer League. Her bio on the WPS website, however, contains one little interesting tidbit: her birthday is listed as 1980. Which would have made her 11 in her first World Cup, 19 when she famously ripped off her shirt, and 24 when she retired. And here I was, thinking she was 40 years old!
