Default Tyler Hamilton's Gold Medal

Now it makes perfect sense why Tyler Hamilton is insisting on keeping
his stolen Olympic Gold Medal.

Gold-Medal Skier Bill Johnson Arrested

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Olympic ski champion Bill Johnson was charged with
assaulting an officer and resisting arrest after punching a sheriff's
deputy in the face during a traffic stop, police said.

Johnson was stopped in his pickup truck Friday by a Multnomah County
sheriff's deputy and a suburban Troutdale police officer. When the
officers approached, Johnson pulled out his 1984 gold medal and taunted
them by saying, "You don't have one of these," police said.

Authorities said Johnson threw his keys at Deputy Jeff Cordes, reached
out his window, grabbed the deputy's shirt and punched him in the face.
Johnson then refused to obey orders to exit the vehicle and lie on the
ground.

Johnson was charged with assaulting an officer, resisting arrest and
driving while intoxicated. He remained jailed Saturday night, and was
being held until arraignment Monday. Bail was set at $17,500.

When an officer tried to interview the 44-year-old Johnson in jail
Friday, he lunged at the officer, grabbed him by the vest and tried to
hit him, said Lt. Bruce McCain of the sheriff's office.

McCain said he did not know whether Johnson would be charged for that
altercation.

The 1984 Olympic downhill champion, Johnson attempted a comeback to
compete in the Salt Lake City Games. But he suffered a traumatic brain
injury during a training run in March 2001 and was in a coma for three
weeks.

That's also the same pickup truck he won in 1984 from some kind of
endorsement related to his gold medal. But all the endorsements dried up
quick and never offered much money.

The main difference between Bill Johnson and Tyler Hamilton is Tyler was
making $800k/year. Johnson won his gold and then never really
capitalized on it.

Bode Miller is America's best skiier now, and all Johnson got is a rust
bucket pick-up and some medal that he should probably return to Kay
Jewelers.

A good attorney should be able to attribute all of Johnson's felony
misconduct into a brain-injury induced act of misdemeanor simple
assault. Throw in the death of his child in a hot tub accident about 10
years ago. $1,500 fine, and 150 hours community service. Record
expunged in 2 years if he stops punching cops in the face.

Next case please,

Magilla

Anyone remember Bill Johnson in the 1984 olympics? When asked
what winning a gold medal meant to him he said:

"Millions."


As I recall after he said that he got *no* endorsements from
anyone. ^_^
