MONT-DE-MARSAN, France -- A father was convicted Thursday of drugging his children's tennis opponents, leading to one player's death, and was sentenced to eight years in prison.

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

The former military pilot 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.

Whatever happend to the father who sharpened the metal on the chin strap of his high school kids helmet? The metal became like razors. I think that happened in Texas. The opponents kept getting their hands cut up and having to leave the game.

Quality justice right there.

Kill someone to better your child's chances at success and get 8 years in prison.

That's probably considered a "harsh sentence" over there. :rolleyes:
