Davidson is best known for her controversy with her bobsleigh partner Jean Racine (now Prahm) prior to the bobsleigh trials for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City where the pair split when Racine dumped Davidson on December 13, 2001. Davidson filed an arbitration against the US Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation, but eventually withdrew it. She served as a forerunner in the 2002 Olympic bobsled events.
