Conflict resolution training and reality check required for Gary Niewand. Jock From SMH article: '' Former Olympic cyclist Gary Neiwand has been sentenced to 18 months' jail for stalking a former girlfriend and four other people. The former Australian champion pleaded guilty in Melbourne Magistrate's Court to five charges of stalking, two of theft, three of using a phone in an harassing manner and one of breaching an intervention order. Victorian Chief Magistrate Ian Gray today sentenced the 39-year-old Olympic silver medallist to 18 months' jail with a minimum term of nine months. Neiwand started making numerous hang-up calls to a woman's home and mobile phone early this year when she ended their brief relationship, the court heard. After the woman changed her phone numbers, he started making hang-up phone calls to her mother and sent sexually explicit text messages about the woman to her boss. He also sent abusive text messages to a former work colleague and two other people on a stolen mobile phone between May and July. Mr Gray described Neiwand's offending as very serious, particularly since he had a previous conviction for breaching an intervention order. "The message to the community must be clear and emphatic ... conduct of this nature, intending to cause fear and apprehension over a period of time is entirely unacceptable," Mr Gray said. He said he also took into account that the father of two was suffering depression and was struggling over his marriage break-up at the time of the offences. He said Neiwand now appeared to accept he needed help and he had good family support. In February, Neiwand was jailed for four months after breaching an intervention order requiring him to keep away from his ex-wife. He breached the order by driving past her house. Niewand, who won silver in the 1000m sprint at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and numerous golds in Commonwealth Games and world title events during the 1980s and 90s, will be eligible for parole in nine months, Mr Gray said.

I'm only reading the last para. Gary remains a legend cyclist. Let's avoid salacious interest in his unfortunate personal life. Donga |

Donga unfortunate? the bloke, while an elite cyclist in his day, is a proven serial stalker. He took a slash in his ex's wine glass or something last time, he's got a few loose spokes and has done it all again & needs help. Salacious, while a good word is not my spin on public interest in the capers of a person who needs a slap. I mean, CLI has been around for years now - he's dumb as dogcrap to do the stuff he has done. Jock |

Alternatively "hands up those who want to break the law and cause others anguish and fear and injury - just be genetically endowed with the ability to ride a pushbike really fast and you can get away with anything!" That he was a high level athlete is nothing to do with him having committed nasty crimes. It's just irrelevant. If he'd not been able to ride a pushbike really fast would you defend him? Zebee |
