Former Olympic Star To Be Sentenced In Heroin Case

NORFOLK, Va. (AP) ― Former track star Tim Montgomery is due in a Norfolk courtroom to learn his punishment on a heroin conviction.

Montgomery's scheduled sentencing Friday in U.S. District Court comes three months after he pleaded guilty to selling more than 100 grams of heroin to a government informant. The sales were recorded by U.S. drug agents.

He faces a minimum prison term of five years and a fine of up to $2 million.

Montgomery won an Olympic gold medal in the 400-meter relay at the 2000 games and a silver in the same event four years earlier. A doping scandal wiped his achievements from the books.

He already is serving a prison term for a check-kiting conspiracy.
