Olympic swimmer Scott Miller has been caught in inner Sydney allegedly with the drug ice, less than two weeks after fronting court on drug offences.

The 38-year-old will spend the night in custody after he was refused bail when he appeared in court on Sunday.

Ten days ago the Edgecliff resident appeared in Waverley Local Court, where he pleaded not guilty to drugs charges and possessing more than $16,000 in cash.

He had been arrested on the morning of June 18 at a home in Mascot, after police allegedly found on him three small, resealable bags of methylamphetamine totalling 1.04g.

Miller also had $1900 in cash while and an additional $14,700 found in a vehicle at the Mascot address.

He's accused of either stealing the two sums of money or obtaining them by some other illegal means.

During his brief court appearance he was charged with a fourth drug offence, and the matter was adjourned until August 21.

Miller declined to speak to media outside of court.

The swim star joined the Australian Institute of Sport in 1991 and went on to win silver and bronze medals at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.
