Too many of the people who others look up to turn out to be trash.

Italian former professional cyclist Mario Cipollini has been sentenced to three years on prison for domestic abuse charges brought against him by his now-ex-wife Sabrina Landucci and her new partner, Silvio Giusti. In addition to the prison sentence, an Italian court has also fined Cipollini—best known as Cipo in the pro world—85,000 Euros.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Cipollini committed “a series of acts damaging the physical and mental integrity of his ex-wife with punches, slaps, kicks, with injuries, and death threats.”

According to Wielerfliets, a Dutch paper, the judge in the case noted that Cipollini mistreated, threatened and stalked his ex-wife “over a period from the end of 2016 to the beginning of 2017,” including an incident where he pressed a gun to her forehead.
