An Olympic silver medallist and his brother are eligible for parole after being sentenced over a failed attempt to import cocaine worth about $200m.

Nathan Baggaley, 48, a former champion kayaker, and Dru Baggaley, 42, faced Brisbane supreme court on Monday after pleading guilty in October to attempting to import a commercial quantity of drugs - just days before they were due to face a retrial.
