He has one individual gold medal and one men's team gold medal from the Atlana Games in 1996. At least, I think that's right.
But yes, he was arrested (or, he turned himself in, that is) for he and his roommate being in posession of marijuana, paraphanalia such as scales and baggies, and $30,000 in cash. They charged him for posession with intent to sell. Though, I don't know what the outcome of his trial was.
Knowing that he was in deep doo-doo, he resigned his place on the Sydney Olympic team before the National Archery Association could strip him of it.
That same year, one of the other US Archery Men's Team members was found to have cheated during the Olympic trials (after completely missing the target, he shot an extra arrow when no one was looking). The National Archery Association yanked *him* from the Olympic team. So, 2 of the 3 were ousted. For the first time in history, both of the olympic team alternates were sent to the games!
That wasn't archery's finest hour.
How do I know all of this? I am an archer myself and a member of the NAA.
Anyway, I didn't mention Justin's "boo-boo" in my post 'cause I didn't want anyone to think that I was saying something bad about Sigma Chi. Surely people make mistakes....and one organization isn't bad because of one member.
