Wow, mommy and daddy both in prison. I've never seen that before.
Mommy and daddy both in jail. I've seen that several times before but its always sad. Hopefully this guy gets his head together and comes out ready to be a responsible father and citizen. When you do the crime you got to be willing to do the time. Four years in the clink is a long time.
Wish him the best.

Perhaps, but both crimes have lying aas the root cause

But it is not coincidental that he is in prison awaiting trial for heroin distribution.
"Former Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery was denied bond in connection with federal heroin-distribution charges."

i see this as a case of an criminal convicted for financial fraud - whether he was a drug cheating athlete many years ago is irrelevant
and every criminal defense has LYING as its basis...its OK to lie after you are charged, but not before?
..MOST criminal defenses, I stand corrected.

1) Many crimes are selectively prosecuted, admit guilt and you may not be charged.
2) It may be very relevant. We'll see what is admissible and what isn't; patterns of behavior often are. If TM's past is not brought into court, color me surprised.
