Olympic swimmer Amanda Beard will show off more than her athletic skills at the Beijing Olympics this week. The 26-year-old, who did a nude photo shoot in Playboy in 2007, stars in a PETA ad that debuts Wednesday at the Beijing games, Reuters reports. “Seeing animals slaughtered to be worn as fashion is awful to me, so I’m definitely against wearing fur … I’d much rather go naked than ever put a dead animal on my body,” PETA quoted Beard as saying. Beard came to prominence at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics at age 14 when she took her teddy bear with her to the victory podium. She won gold in the 200m breaststroke at the Athens Olympics in 2004. The 2008 games will be her fourth shot at gold. (Ref URL http:
