A former mountain biking world champion is being held on $250,000 bail after federal authorities say they seized more than 200 pounds of marijuana from a truck she was driving in upstate New York.

U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials say 37-year-old Melissa Giove, of Chesapeake, Virginia and 30-year-old Eric Canori of Wilton were charged Tuesday with conspiring to possess and distribute more than 100 kilograms of marijuana.

Police say they seized nearly 400 pounds of pot from the truck and from Canori's home outside Saratoga Springs, 25 miles north of Albany.

At a detention hearing Thursday, Giove and Canori were jailed on $250,000 and $500,000 bail, respectively.
