Former Olympian faces drug charge
SYDNEY, April 17: Swimmer Scott Miller, who won a 100-metre butterfly silver medal at the 1996 Olympics, was charged on Thursday with drug offences along with the son of a former Australian rugby captain.
Police said they found a pill press capable of producing up to 27,000 pills an hour, and a professional tablet counter after searching a storage facility in northern Sydney. They arrested Miller, 33, and seized steroids after raiding a home later in the day.
