FROM THE VIRGINIAN PILOT TODAY Former Olympic track star Tim Montgomery was indicted on heroin distribution charges, adding to a litany of legal woes for the one-time Norfolk State University sprinter. Montgomery, 33, was arrested Wednesday on a sealed indictment charging him with conspiracy to distribute heroin. The indictment provides scant details of the allegations, other than accusing him of dealing more than 3½ ounces of heroin between last year and this year in Virginia. Federal authorities made no public announcement of the arrest. The U.S. Attorney’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration, which investigated Montgomery, did not immediately return phone messages today. Montgomery made an initial appearance in U.S. District Court late Wednesday, and a magistrate ordered him jailed pending a bond hearing on Monday. He did not have an attorney. Montgomery already faces sentencing next month in a New York-based check-kiting case that also snared his one-time coach Steve Riddick. Hints of Montgomery’s drug involvement emerged in the Riddick trial, but federal officials have so far refused to comment. |

Interesting race to the bottom between him and his former slampig Marion. Sprinters do it faster! |

sad state of things. From one of the top sprinters in the world to con in a matter of years. |

This is absolutely mind-blowing. I can understand someone in his position not wanting to work a menial or entry-level job to make ends meet after being on top of the world, but...dealing heroin? Are you serious? I'd have more respect for him if he just started robbing banks. |
| some facts. |

if he ends up in jail, hopefully he will still have the leg speed to run away from Bubba in the shower. But without steroids, who knows... |

I have heard of the rebuilding effects of heroin. You get so relaxed that your body has nothing to do but rebuild and repair. Inside trade secret is now out of the bag. |

I wonder if Roger Clemens was involved in this also? |

I thought Ben Johnson was hitting lows when I saw him in a "Cheetah" energy drink commercial. What a mess. |

Him and Marion. How the mighty have fallen. Unbelievable. |

In a way they didn't fall that deep. They were only on top of the game because they were dopers. Without they might have been 10.20/11.50 sprinters... |

Enivronmentalist - your points are well taken. Very good athletes can become great ones with illegal performance enhancers. But the human tragedy here is considerable. And there's a child involved here - now with both parents in the criminal justice system. Most people who get into trouble and go off the rails don't do it suddenly - they lose their boundaries a bit at a time. Hopefully, Montgomery and Jones can relate to others when they went off track. Because while the fall from a purely athletic measurement perspective may be, as you relate, artificial, the human cost sure is not. |

agree. |

At least Marion is married to a good guy at this point, he can be the child's guardian while the parents are paying for their crimes. Frankly, once Marion gets out of prison she should get a judge to have Tim's parental rights terminated. |

Wow! As a former heroin addict, I would have been honored to buy scag from Tim Mont. 3.5 ounces is a lot scag too. |

"Ruin other people's lives" no, addicts ruin their own lives; only they are responsible for what goes into their nose, veins or mouth. Was Montgomey an enabler? Sure. This whole sordid story is sad; for them, for track and field and for us. The public often paints us all with the same brush. |

Can someone explain, to an old fart, how much this is? Is that like a half measuring cup full? And is this amount before it is cut up and diluted? |
