Former Olympic skier Bode Miller was arrested on drug charges in Idaho this month, according to reports.
TMZ claims Miller, who won a gold medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, was charged with two misdemeanor counts following an incident on June 6.
He has been hit with one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.
The 48-year-old was later released after posting a $5,000 cash bond. He has entered not guilty pleas to both charges.
Court records reportedly state that Miller’s attorney filed an appearance on his behalf shortly after the case was opened.
He is due back in court for a pretrial hearing on July 29, with the case still active.

Miller won six Olympics medals over the course of his legendary career, making him one of America’s most decorated alpine skiers.
The Easton-born athlete, who also won two overall World Cup titles, bowed out from skiing in 2017.
Miller’s arrest came eight years after he and wife Morgan suffered the devastating loss of their baby daughter Emeline, who died after drowning in a neighbor’s swimming pool on June 9, 2018.
Emeline was only 19 months old when the tragic incident occurred, with Morgan recently opening up on the agonizing regret that still haunts her in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail.
‘I never thought to be hyper aware of the pool in the backyard, but that’s where this is most likely to happen,’ she said. ‘When I think of what I could have done differently, I would have locked all the doors so she couldn’t get outside. I would have moved Emmy in front of me instead of the playroom to the right of me. I think about this all the time.’
