What a wild decade it’s been for track star Tim Montgomery. In 2000, he picked up his second gold medal with the US relay team. In 2002, he beat the 100m world record by 0.01 seconds, becoming “the fastest man on earth.” In 2004, he was accused of using steroids, and stripped of all medals and records in 2005. In 2006, he was arrested for check fraud. In 2007, he was found guilty, and sentenced to four years in prison this May.
Just before his sentencing, Montgomery was arrested for selling heroin. Today, the fallen athlete was handed another five years in prison, directly following his current stint. Here’s hoping for a quiet 2009, Tim.
