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.

Confessed

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 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.

Prosecutor Serge Mackowiack had asked for a sentence of eight to 10 years in prison, below the 20-year 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.

Fauviau's 16-year-old daughter, Valentine, is a rising star in French tennis.

WTF was going through this guys head?
