Retiring with a healthy endorsement

Marketing - Advertising

Sports

Retired athletes are becoming pitching favorites in the midst of today's scandals, like steroid abuse and betting on dog fights. Tennis star Martina Navratilova is the latest example of an old pro cashing in. The 51-year-old will be serving up Health and Fitness tips for AARP. The Wall Street Journal says the endorsement deal could be announced today.

Navratilova says some sponsors were shy to sign her earlier in her career since she's openly gay. The AARP says that's not an issue. The former pro player also had recent deals with Subaru and Prince rackets.
