Tim Montgomery, a former Olympic sprinter has been sentenced to five years in prison on heroin charges. Montgomery was a gold medalist at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. Montgomery plead guilty in July and has now been sentenced to five years. Not only does he have to serve five years in prison, he was also convicted on check fraud and is severing another four years for that conviction.
Marion Jones, a three-time gold medalist also admitted to using steroids before the 2000 Olympic games. Jones was also convicted and sentenced to six months in prison.
Why can't these Olympic athletes just say no to drugs?
