Tennis dad drugged rivals

A FATHER who drugged his children’s tennis opponents, leading to a player’s death, was sentenced to eight years in prison after being convicted yesterday.

Christophe Fauviau had confessed to the crime during his trial in Mont-de-Marsan in southwestern France.

The former military pilot was accused of spiking water bottles of his children’s opponents 27 times in tournaments across France from 2000 to 2003, using anti-anxiety drug Temesta, which can cause drowsiness.
