Way too much pressure 

Wow, for evryone out there who thought Jelena Dokic's old man was a freak (which he most undeniably is) check out this protective tennis dad.
A RETIRED French colonel accused of trying to boost his children's tennis results by drugging their opponents has admitted he spiked the water bottle of a rival player who later died in a car crash.
Christophe Fauviau, whose daughter Valentine, 15, is one of France's brightest prospects, made his confession at the start of his trial in the south-western town of Mont-de-Marsan.
He is charged with the manslaughter of Alexandre Lagardere by unintentionally causing him to fall asleep at the wheel of his car. Mr Lagardere had earlier been overcome by drowsiness while playing Fauviau's son Maxime in the final of a local tournament.
Fauviau, 46, a former helicopter pilot instructor with an exemplary military record, is also accused of administering toxic substances to 21 of Valentine's opponents and six of her brother's.

In this bloody era of political correctness it's now a crime to try and help your kids to succeed.

Seriously though, don't you think maybe his kids might have started to suspect something was amiss when all their opponents kept like, you know, collapsing in their matches?
Other opponents suffered various symptoms including weak knees, dizziness, nausea and fainting. Some needed hospital treatment.

Or perhaps, as the French would say, they just thought it was a case of deja vu?
