WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. (UPI) -- Former Olympic sprinter Tim Montgomery
received a 46-month federal prison sentence Friday for his involvement
in a check fraud scheme.
The sentence was issued by U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Karas in
White Plains, N.Y.
Montgomery, who won a gold medal in the 400 relay at the 2000 Olympics
and a silver medal in the 400 relay at the 1996 Olympics, entered a
guilty plea April 2007 to bank fraud and conspiracy to commit bank
fraud charges.
"I am very troubled that up until today he has not accepted
responsibility," The (Norfolk, Va.) Virginian-Pilot reported Karas
saying in court at sentencing.
Also involved in the scheme was former women's gold medal sprinter
Marion Jones, who is serving a six-month prison sentence after
admitting she used performance-enhancing drugs.
Montgomery and Jones -- who were once called the fastest humans in
their respective genders -- have been stripped of their gold medals.
Montgomery faces unrelated heroin distribution charges.
