Talk about setting a bad example:
A retired soldier is on trial in France on charges that he drugged the tennis rivals of his children 27 times from 2000 to 2003, a report said. Christophe Fauviau, 46, is accused of unintentionally causing the death of Alexandre Lagardere, 25, by administering anti-anxiety drug Temesta.Lagardere died in a July 2003 crash while driving home after losing a match to Fauviau's son, Maxime. Authorities say Lagardere had traces of the anti-anxiety drug in his system and may have fallen asleep at the wheel, Sky News reported.
The victim, like other opponents of Fauviau's children, complained of weakness and tiredness during the match and slept for two hours afterward. Prosecutors claim Fauviau drugged six opponents of his son and 21 opponents of his 15-year-old daughter, Valentine.
And we thought murderous hockey dads were bad news.
