Former Olympic track star Tim Montgomery was sentenced Friday to five years in prison for dealing heroin to an undercover cop. The former track star was under federal surveillance, for suspicion.
The former sprinter will serve the five-year sentence after he completes a 46-month prison term on an unrelated conviction in New York
| Montgomery told U.S. District Judge Jerome B. Friedman. "I was blind - I never had a job in my life," "I did the wrong thing." In July he negotiated with the government and entered a guilty plea to possession and distribution of more than 100 grams of heroin he received the minimum term under federal sentencing guidelines. Montgomery had much success in his past career as an Olympian. He won an Olympic silver medal in the 400-meter relay at the 1996 Atlanta Games. Then Montgomery won 4 Olympic gold medals in the same event at the Sydney 2000 Summer Games. |

| In April of this year Montgomery was detained on the heroin charge one month after he was sentenced to nearly four years in prison for his role in a New York-based check-kiting conspiracy. Montgomery's heroin prosecution is based on four drug sales he made a year ago and this year in Norfolk and Virginia Beach. A Drug Enforcement Agency informant made buys that were electronically videotaped, tape-recorded or witnessed by agents, according to court records. While he never tested positive for drugs, but he retired in December 2005 after the ban was imposed. Last year, Montgomery admitted helping his former coach, Olympic champion Steve Riddick, and others cash $1.7 million in stolen and counterfeit checks. Riddick is serving a five-year prison term. |
| Montgomery's ex-cohort, Olympic gold medalist Marion Jones, is serving a six-month prison sentence for lying to investigators about the check-fraud scam and using steroids.
Montgomery's Olympic medals and his world-record 9.78-second performance in the 100-meter dash were wiped clean after he was linked to the investigation of BALCO, the West Coast lab at the center of the steroid scandal in sports. He also was banned from track for two years. In his prime, Montgomery was dubbed "the world's fastest man" but his fortunes have sharply declined. |
