(AP Photo\/Luca Bruno, File)<br \/><strong>BOISE, Idaho<\/strong> \u2013 Olympic gold medalist skier Bode Miller has pleaded not guilty to a pair of misdemeanor drug charges after he was arrested on a charge of possessing <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/mushroom-psychedelic-alcoholism-study-a3b6692ae7590de9fd09a7cac271a199\">psilocybin<\/a> mushrooms.<br \/>Miller was arrested June 6 in eastern Idaho, according to court records, and pleaded not guilty to possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia the following week. Neither his attorney, Jeromy Stafford, nor his longtime representative, Lowell Taub, responded to messages requesting comment. It&#8217;s unknown if Taub still represents Miller.<br \/>Recommended Videos<br \/>The court documents don&#8217;t include any details about the circumstances surrounding Miller&#8217;s arrest. But in a probable cause statement, Fremont County Sheriff&#8217;s Deputy Jacob Hurt wrote that he found Miller with a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of the psychedelic mushrooms.<br \/>Idaho has some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/business-health-marijuana-idaho-f217fd7edf89cd809cf9d8b0040c2d96?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share\">strictest drug laws<\/a> in the nation. But Colorado and Oregon have both legalized the use of psilocybin for therapeutic treatments, and the substance has become increasingly popular with some health advocates who believe that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/microdosing-lsd-mushrooms-psychedelic-psilocybin-390c99ba54ef9d75727f39e2ec78fb34?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share\">microdosing<\/a> it or using it in therapeutic settings can help ease anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. <br \/>In April, President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/ibogaine-psychedelic-trump-fda-ptsd-veterans-kennedy-a9940fa57fa1457fc064eb5165003524\">signed an executive order<\/a> directing the Food and Drug Administration and other federal agencies to speed up research and loosen restrictions on psychedelics, and in response the FDA said it would offer <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/psychedelics-trump-fda-kennedy-drugs-mdma-afd00baa39f4300e4631d1f3eed27b7f?utm_source=copy&amp;utm_medium=share\">ultra-fast review<\/a> to three psychedelic drugs being developed to treat mental health conditions.<br \/>The 48-year-old Miller took a gambler\u2019s approach to ski racing. His high-risk, high-reward style resulted in six Olympic medals, including gold in the super-combined at the 2010 Vancouver Games, and numerous crashes.<br \/>His last major race was at the 2015 world championships in Beaver Creek, Colorado, when a bad wipeout knocked him out of the super-G. He cut a gate too close and hooked his left arm, sending him spiraling out of control. His skis popped off and he began to somersault down the slope before righting himself. He slowly got up and waited for someone to bring him his skis. Once he clicked back into the skis, he went down the slope and waved to the fans. Miller later underwent surgery to fix a torn right hamstring tendon caused when his ski sliced him.<br \/>Miller won 33 World Cup races and a pair of World Cup overall titles. He also captured four gold medals at world championships.<br \/>___ Associated Press journalists Pat Graham and Jake Seiner contributed. <br \/>Copyright 2026 The Associated Press.
