British sprinter Bianca Williams restricted from driving and given 18 penalty points
Williams, 29, failed to tell police who was driving a Tesla Model 3 when an alleged offence took place.
The athlete claimed a ban would make it difficult for her to get to training.
But magistrates at Lavender Hill rejected her claim that she could not use public transport and suspended her from driving for six months.
Williams failed on three occasions to reply to letters from the police between April and June 2023.
In October, two Metropolitan Police officers were sacked over a stop and search of Williams and her partner, the Portuguese sprinter Ricardo Dos Santos, 28, in 2020.
The couple are black and claimed they were racially profiled.
A police misconduct hearing was told officers followed Mr Dos Santos in their police carrier because of the "appalling" and "suspicious" nature of his driving and were doing their duty when they conducted the stop and search.
But the panel found two officers had lied about smelling cannabis.
