Stuffs in the formation $PERSON is a former $NATIONALITY $PROFESSION, such as "Niki Lauda is a former Austrian racing driver" or "Hendrix stayed with his girlfriend, former German figure skater Monika Dannemann". Admittedly Monika Dannemann is now a former German, but only in the sense that she's also a former human being. If you really can't be arsed to rearrange the sentence, try using the word "retired".
Bah!
