Tim Montgomerie Drugs and Fraud Scandal

Tim Montgomerie (born 24 July 1970) is a British Conservative Party activist, blogger, comment editor and columnist for The Times and former 100m World record holder. In 2005, he was stripped of his records—including a now void 100m world record of 9.78 seconds set in 2002—after being found guilty of using performance-enhancing drugs.
At this low point in his athletics career, he decided to found the Centre for Social Justice and create the ConservativeHome website, which he edited from 2005 until 2013, when he left to join The Times.
In March 2014, Montgomerie announced his resignation from the newspaper after a series of scandals,  culminating in a conviction for his part in a New York–based check fraud scheme and for dealing heroin in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.
