A federal jury found a former Olympic speedskater guilty of fraud Thursday, ruling that the Utah native gave false information to banks to receive a fraudulent $10 million small business loan from government pandemic relief funding.

Allison Marie Baver, 42, a retired Olympic short track speedskater who was on a team that won a bronze medal in the 2010 Olympic Games, was found guilty of two counts of making false statements to influence a bank, one count of money laundering, and one count of contempt on Thursday.
