Olympic medallist charged with running drug ring in Australia

Scott Miller, 45, and an accomplice were arrested in police raids.

A FORMER Olympic swimmer who won a silver medal for Australia was arrested on Tuesday and charged with running a syndicate trafficking in the drug “ice”, police said.

Scott Miller, 45, and an accomplice were arrested in police raids in two Sydney suburbs.

They were charged with the alleged supply of some AU$2.0 million worth of methylamphetamine, also known as ice, concealed inside candles, they said.

Police also seized a kilogramme (2.2 pounds) of heroin, other drugs and cash in the raids.

A spokesman described Miller as the head of a “criminal syndicate” that sold ice across New South Wales state, and said investigations were continuing and further charges expected.

Miller won a silver medal in the 100-metre butterfly event in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, and a bronze medal as part of Australia’s 4×100-metre medley squad.

    Could see that coming. You can’t keep publicly attacking your players even if there is some truth to it.

    Levy needs to follow Conte out of the door or nothing will change at Spurs. The fans have had enough of Levy and his way of running the club with profit above everything. It’s time Spurs had owners that were willing to spend what’s needed on the squad to put us in the position where we can actually win something. 22 years of Levy’s way doesn’t work, who else would still be in a job after 22 years of failure?
    Levy and Lewis OUT.

    Please sign a manager with an attacking philosophy. I don’t mind losing 3-2 as long as we had a go and are entertaining to watch. But the last few seasons of watching Conte and mourinho park the bus tactics and try counter attack for a one nil win. No thanks. Done with that boring nonsense.
