Teen parent accused of drugging foes

What is this world coming to?

A tennis parent has been accused of drugging the foes of his offspring, and his actions may have led to the death of a 25-year-old teacher, BBC News reported Tuesday.

Christophe Fauviau was arrested on suspicion of contributing to the death of his son's opponent by drugging him during a match, according to the report. Fauviau is accused of spiking the water bottles of his children's rivals with an anti-depressant.

The teacher was killed in a car crash after apparently falling asleep at the wheel of his car, following a match with Fauviau's 15-year-old son Maxim. The teacher had quit the match, saying he was too tired to continue, according to the report.

An autopsy found school teacher Alexandre Lagardere, 25, had consumed Temesta, an anti-depressant he was not known to normally take.

It's amazing the things people will do to get what they want, but to win a tennis match? That is just sad. What kind of example is this idiot setting for his 15-year old son?

That is terrible. If this is true and the parent is convicted, I saw throw the book at'em!

Disgusting what the world of sports has come to these days.

Well, the kid won the match. That's all that matters.

Anyways, the parent should be convicted for murder 1. She planned it, no care for human life(drugging a human qualifys) and she killed the guy!
