Diana Taurasi: Does Taurasi Story Prove that We All Just Love a Good Scandal?

WNBA star Diana Taurasi used to seem relatively innocent, and most people outside of women's basketball fans had no idea who she was.

But then earlier this year, Taurasi posed nude for ESPN Magazine's 'Body Issue,' and everything changed.

Suddenly, Taurasi's image had changed from the "girl next door" to sexy sports star, and now point guard's reputation has taken yet another hit.

Earlier this week, Taurasi tested positive for a banned substance while playing for the Turkish Basketball Federation, and she may not be able to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.

This is the second time this year that Taurasi has made headlines for something other than her basketball skills.

Taurasi is without a doubt a very talented athlete, but when she only makes news for being "bad," we have to wonder...

Do we all just love a good scandal?
