Ex-Olympian gets five years for drug dealing
Disgraced former Olympic track star Tim Montgomery, once dubbed "the world's fastest man," was sentenced in Norfolk, Va., to five years in prison for dealing heroin to an informant.

Emerson declined to say if Canseco had the drug, which is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency for use in males.
