Son Of Olympic Gold Medalist Sprinter Linford Christie Denies Dealing Crack And Heroin

The son of former sprint star Linford Christie pleaded not guilty yesterday to dealing crack cocaine and heroin.

Liam Oliver-Christie, 32, of Lakeside Road, West Kensington appeared at Isleworth Crown Court.

He denied one count of possessing crack cocaine, with intent to supply, on November 9, last year.

Oliver-Christie also pleaded not guilty to possessing heroin, with intent to supply, at his home address on the same date.

He also denied two alternative lesser accounts of simply possessing the two drugs.

He was bailed unconditionally to return for a two-day trial on October 1.

His father won gold for Britan in the 100m at the World, European and Commonwealth championships and his national record of 9.87 secs set over twenty years ago stands to this day.

Liam's mother is former typist Yvonne Oliver, who had a short relationship with the athlete and he has a twin sister Korel.
