Americans that tune in to the Olympics this month won't see Amanda Beard swimming for her country. The beautiful athlete failed to quality in any events.

But fans can still see Beard playing a prominent role in Beiing, as her new, naked ad for PETA debuts there today.

“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,” it reads.

You can now see Amanda Beard nude in Playboy and in defense of animals.

Considering the example Beard set for other athletes to bare in all in Playboy - such as Ashley Harkleroad - does this mean we'll see other sports stars come out against fur in the near future?

Time shall tell.
