However, during the two-year probationary period, Solo will have to meet with a court-certified addiction expert and comply with any additional treatment ordered by the court, the New York Times writes.

Solo’s driver’s license was also suspended, but two other charges were dropped: child abuse and resisting an officer.

“I underestimated the destructive part of alcohol in my life. I made a huge mistake, undoubtedly the biggest mistake of my life,” Solo wrote on social media.

In late March, Solo was arrested after she was seen sleeping at the wheel of a motorized car outside a shopping mall – with her two-year-old twins in the back seat. Officers who arrived at the scene wrote in the report that they smelled alcohol, and the officers also asked Sulu to take a field sobriety test, which Sulu refused.

Solo is a two-time Olympic champion with the USA and also has a World Cup gold medalist on his track record.
