In some cases, the athlete switches her sexual preference after prolonged participation in a sport. Billie Jean King apparently concluded she had a different sexual orientation during her tennis career, ''after'' she had married her husband Larry: "Fifty per cent of gay people know who they are by the age of 13, I was in the other 50%. I would never have married Larry if I'd known. I would never have done that to him. I was totally in love with Larry when I was 21."<ref>http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/tennis/article3021888.ece</ref>
