Deputy Jacob Hurt wrote a probable-cause statement that Miller was found with a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.

Summary

Miller Accuses Doping Officials

Miller accused anti-doping officials of targeting him, saying he was tested three times while teammates were tested once.
He missed one test because he was three hours away driving to New York.
In a 2006 60 Minutes interview, Miller admitted racing World Cup events while intoxicated and likened skiing drunk to driving without rules.
Miller’s anti-doping criticism began in 2005 and prompted extra scrutiny.

History

Historical Context

On 8 July 1998 French police seized EPO and other drugs from Festina soigneur Willy Voet, prompting the team’s expulsion from the Tour de France and spurring anti-doping reforms such as the 1999 creation of WADA. That legacy of revisiting elite athletes’ drug cases resurfaces in 2024 when Idaho prosecutor Lindsey Blake dismissed skier Bode Miller’s 4.1-gram psilocybin charge.
