Miller, 45, was arrested at Rozelle and a 47-year-old man was arrested at Balmain.

Both men were taken to Newtown police station where investigations are continuing and charges are expected to be laid.

Miller was a butterfly swimmer who represented Australia at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta where he won a silver medal.

Senior police will address the media on Tuesday morning.

Earlier this year detectives from the State Crime Command’s Drug and Firearms Squad, as well as the NSW Crime Commission, began investigating a criminal syndicate involved in the supply of prohibited drugs – mainly methylamphetamine or ice – throughout NSW.

More to come.
