Olympic cyclist Jack Bobridge charged over #Perth drug bust

A DUAL Olympic silver medal cyclist is accused of selling hundreds of ecstasy tablets, after being caught up in an undercover police operation targeting sreet-level party drug dealers.

Almost a year since he stood on the podium at the Rio Olympics after narrowly losing in the men’s team pursuit final, Jack Bobridge, 28, stood in the dock at Perth Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.

The three-time Olympian, four-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist, former world champion and world record holder was arrested on Wednesday, after police with sniffer dogs descended on his Yokine home.

Neighbours said they saw at least six marked and unmarked police cars arrive at the property.

Detectives used sniffer dogs to search the house and backyard for more than an hour.
