Nicole Bobek - Ice Skating Queen To Drug Ring Queen



Nicole Bobek is the former US Women's Figure Skating Champion. Yesterday though she appeared via video in a New Jersey court and pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to distribute meth. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison. Bail was set at $200,000. As of this time she has not posted bail. Bobek was arrested in Florida last week.

She has homes in both Florida and in New York. Apparently this investigation has been going on for awhile and Nicole is portrayed as the leader of this meth ring that operated between the two states.

I'm guessing that Disney On Ice doesn't pay what the drug trade pays and so, hey instead of entertaining children she wants to sell them drugs. Allegedly. Allegedly.

20 other people were arrested with Bobek as part of the ring. Bobek won the figure skating title back in 1995.

Since when does selling meth mean one intends to sell it to children?

WBotW, it's called a joke.

I actually used to really enjoy her figure skating and liked that she wasn't a prissy little ice queen like the rest. Guess she took that to the extreme. Sounds like dealing meth does pay better than figure skating. Who knew?

Kinda sad. I remember her too - beautiful to watch. She was always a little bit of a hellion. As a former figure skater, I heard the stories. Nothing overly scandelous, but she deffinately had a wild streak.

Wow, 2nd pic looks kinda Hayden-like.

Was I the only one that thought it was going to be Tanya Harding when you saw a story about a skater and drugs?

Gives a different meaning to "Ice" Queen...

Tonya Harding doesn't have the money or the brains to run a ring as large as this one is purported to be.

Besides, out here in Oregon, people just make their own. lol.
