Olympic skiing legend Bode Miller arrested on drug charges

Olympic skiing legend Bode Miller is facing two misdemeanor drug charges after an arrest in Idaho earlier this month.

Miller, 48, was charged with one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia following a June 6 incident, TMZ reported.

The former Team USA skiing star was later released after posting a $5,000 cash bond and has pleaded not guilty to both charges.

Court records show Miller’s attorney filed an appearance on his behalf shortly after the case was opened, according to the report.

The case remains active, with Miller scheduled to appear for a pretrial hearing on July 29.

Miller is one of the most decorated alpine skiers in American history, winning six Olympic medals across his career.

His Olympic haul included a gold medal in the super combined at the 2010 Vancouver Games.

He also won two overall World Cup titles during a decorated career that made him one of the biggest names in American winter sports.

Miller retired from competitive skiing in 2017.

The New Hampshire native later worked as a broadcaster and remained a prominent figure around the skiing after stepping away from racing.

The reported arrest now leaves Miller facing a court date next month as the misdemeanor case moves forward.
