[Tuariki]

New Zealand Decathlete (PB 8366 points) did jail time recently for importing drugs (not the streoid type) into NZ.

SIMON Poelman
Also marathon runner Jeff Julian for fraud/theft

There isn't a single woman on the team.

There will be soon.

Very impressive bump.

But it never got bumped when it came about.... Ms. You Know Who is long in, and long out. But she sure is the anchorperson of the team !

From the UK:
400m David Jenkins
PV Keith Stock

I've read about a pretty good British distance runner named Colin too. :wink:

I believe Erik de Bruin did some time for shoplifting.

Add Mr. Alex Da Silva to that list:

Mr. Da Silva was a 4.15 miler in high school in California (El Cerrito) and the 1987 North Coast Section champion.

Check out the monster David Mack story now posted on the front page from the ERG. Quite the read.

Yes, very well done. Nicely balanced. Just as we know there had to be lots of really damaging evidence for him to be convicted, there are also lots of reasons for people like Brian Theriot and Joe Douglas to passionately believe that he deserves support.

OJ hasn't spent time in prison yet. Being held without bail pending in County Jail doesn't count.

OK, we can give his lane to Mr. Montgomery once he starts serving his sentence (or has he started already?).

wasn't there a 110 hurdler training at the OTC a year or two ago arrested for rape? his name escapes me. Whatever happened with that case?

Micah Harris - convicted of a very grievous assault, a cop said it was one of the worst beatings he'd ever seen. He got a pretty stiff sentence although I forget how many years. Sat next his girlfriend one year at the Carson meet; he came to the stands after his race and I remember thinking what a pleasant young man he was :shock: :shock: :shock:

Jim Thorpe played a prisoner in White Heat.

And of course, Bruce Jenner should have been put into prison for making Can't Stop the Music with the Village People.

Angelo Taylor was convicted for sex with a minor, but not sure he ever served any prison time

No, he was given three years of probation.

Billy Konchellah may be #1 prison 800m runner.
Served time for rape in the UK, and I think there are other rape charges still pending.

Meanwhile, shouldn't Armin Hary make the finals of the prison 100m?

Also Angelo Taylor was convicted for sex with a minor, but not sure he ever served any prison time

Why is my BS meter starting to flicker? I'd like to see some documentation on this one.

Never saw this thread when it was first up.

If the Tarzan Brown story is true, the U.S. Olympic Committee did a good job keeping it out of the press, as there is no reference to it either in the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times.

Check out page 72 of this script I came across.

Why get all bogged down with facts???
