About Tim Montgomery

  • Timothy "Tim" Montgomery (born January 28, 1975) is an American former track and field sprinter who specialized in the 100-meter dash.
  • In 2005, he was stripped of his records—including a now void men's 100 m world record of 9.78 seconds set in 2002—after being found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs as a central figure in the BALCO scandal.
  • Since retiring from athletics, he has been tried and convicted for his part in a New York-based check fraud scheme and for dealing heroin in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia. Montgomery's first major medal was an Olympic silver in the 4 Ă— 100 meters relay from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
  • He was a 100 m bronze medalist at the 1997 World Championships in Athletics, then shared in the relay gold medals with the United States team at the 1999 World Championships in Athletics.
  • He took an Olympic gold at the 2000 Summer Olympics with the American relay team.
  • He initially won a silver medal in the 100 m at the 2001 World Championships in Athletics, but this was annulled due to doping.
  • His official personal best for the 100 m stands at 9.92 seconds, making him a sub-10 second sprinter.
