Tour de France stage winner in court after allegedly threatening to stab his brother-in-law Ex-Rabobank and GreenEdge pro Pieter Weening alleged to have threatened former partner and her brother cycling
that prosecutors requested a court in Leeuwarden on Friday to sentence ex-Rabobank and Orica GreenEdge rider Pieter Weening to 120 hours of community service, 60 of them conditionally.
The public prosecutor said that the brother of Weening’s partner landed the first punch after his sister was threatened. Weening’s former partner’s brother, who was also charged in connection with the incident, told the court: “Pieter stood up, threw the table aside and went towards my sister. Then I got in. He had the devil in his eyes. I hit first, with my fist.”Weening said that the allegations were groundless. “This is the world turned upside down,” he said. “I had to turn off to get some free space.”
It is claimed that Weening picked up a bottle during the altercation, apparently in “self-defence against three wild bulls.”Police arrived and broke up the fight, with Weening subsequently going to hospital.
