WOODBURY, N.J. — A five-time wing-eating champion known as "El Wingador" has been indicted in New Jersey on cocaine distribution charges.

William Simmons is charged with four counts of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and one count of manufacturing or distribution of more than a half ounce of cocaine in June.

The South Jersey Times reports the 51-year-old Woodbury Heights resident is also charged with six counts of manufacturing or distribution of more than a half ounce and less than five ounces of the drug and two counts of manufacturing less than half an ounce.

"El Wingador" last won Philadelphia's Wing Bowl in 2005 when he gnawed through 162 chicken wings. Wing Bowl was started as a way for Philadelphia sports fans to blow off steam before the Super Bowl.

Could be the first drug issue that the Competitive Eating Hall of Fame has to deal with. I think he still has a year left before he is eligible to be voted in, so this should be interesting.

Coke is about the last drug I'd figure a competitive eater would want to take .... well, I guess to offset weight gain for personal reasons, sure as hell not a competitive advantage. Now weed on the other hand ......
