Another one who should just be taken out...
Tennis Dad Gets Eight Years in Drug Death
By PIERRE SAUVEY, Associated Press Writer 21 minutes ago
A father who drugged his children's tennis opponents, leading to one player's death, was sentenced to eight years in prison after being convicted
Thursday.
Christophe Fauviau had confessed to the crime. Before jurors began their two hours of deliberation, the retired soldier told the court that he was
responsible for Alexandre Lagardere's death and that "I'll always carry that with me."
"Not for one second did I think of hurting people. I realize now that I did," the 46-year-old former military pilot said.
Lagardere's father, Bernard, refused to comment on the verdict, but asked that the Fauviau family remember "that in our house, there will always be
someone missing."
Fauviau was accused of spiking the water bottles of his children's opponents 27 times in tournaments across France from 2000 to 2003, using the
anti-anxiety drug Temesta, which can cause drowsiness.
The case illustrated the darker side of some parents' attempts to help their children achieve athletic success.
Prosecutor Serge Mackowiack had asked for eight to 10 years imprisonment ? below the 20 years maximum for the charge of unintentionally causing death
by administering toxic substances. In asking for the lighter sentence, Mackowiack said Fauviau had been a good soldier and said he did not seek to
kill or injure the players.
Still, the prosecutor described Fauviau as "an adult who turned his children into objects of his own fantasies of success" and whose actions were
premeditated.
"Nothing stopped you: Players collapsing on the court, the sight of stretchers, of an 11-year-old girl, a young woman who collapses against a fence.
Nothing stopped you," Mackowiack told the court in Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France.
Fauviau's 16-year-old daughter Valentine is a rising star in French tennis. His son Maxime also played.
In tearful earlier testimony, Fauviau asked Lagardere's parents for forgiveness.
"It's something that completely took me over, and I couldn't imagine that I could be responsible for the death of your son," he told the court last
week. "I never wanted things to come out like this."
Opponents of Fauviau's children complained to investigators of various ills: weak knees, dizziness, nausea or fainting. Several were hospitalized.
In July 2003, Maxime Fauviau defeated Lagardere, who complained of fatigue after the match and slept for two hours. While driving home, the
25-year-old school teacher crashed his car and died, and police believe he fell asleep at the wheel. Toxicology tests showed traces of Temesta in his
system, delivered by Christophe Fauviau.
Fauviau, a former helicopter pilot instructor for the French army, had been in custody pending trial since his arrest in August 2003.

im at the point being 25 that i can obviously see the differences between being a kid 20 years ago and today. i can still go back to my old
neighborhood and see how i used to ride my bike around all day in the street and now im pretty sure if i was a parent that my kid would not go outside
of my yard, it just really sucks, i guess we are fortunate that in our lifetime it can only get so bad, but whatabout our kids and so on, and now i
need another beer...keep em' coming

Juan, I live in East Germantown... I hear gunshots nightly, stupid assholes throw trash in MY yard, a block away two kids got blasted a few months
ago. There's almost regular police chases through these streets. I need to move to a better area.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to have or be around children at all.
All of those sick fucks need to get shot in the face.
Have you ever noticed how crayons are a lot like M&M's? All the colors tend to taste the same.

These types of people should be sterilized.

Havertown sounds nice to me... but then you'd have to deal with Mainline fucktards.... like one yesterday that gave me shit for listening to
Discipline while I was wallpapering around his shitter.
The dude in the article should be sent to that island that Napoleon was sent to... in fact, him and all other types of people like that should be put
on an island, televised, and make that the new season of Survivor.
