In a note shared to Twitter on Friday, Solo wrote that she has "contacted the Hall of Fame and respectfully requested a postponement of my Hall of Fame induction ceremony to 2023."
"I will be voluntarily entering an in-patient alcohol treatment program to address my challenges with alcohol. At this time, my energies and focus are totally directed to my health, healing and taking care of my family," she added. "I want to thank the Hall of Fame for their support and for understanding my decision."
