Dennis allegedly continued to drive until his wife fell off the ute. She was allegedly dragged some way down the road, the publication reports.
He dragged her down the road with his car and she died from that lads. But sure, let's defend an already known asshole with temper problems!
-
I don’t know what the truth is and I’m not here to defend Dennis but the word allegedly is used twice in that sentence you quoted. Does anyone know what really happened?
-
I don’t think Rohan Dennis is a household name outside of procycling fans. Headline needs to justify why it’s getting media attention outside other cases of femicide.

These reports were from last January so I assume "allegedly" was used to legally cover the places that reported it. This current round of coverage seems to drop those details so I assume Dennis's team were able to argue that he was not wholly legally culpable for those actions. From the BBC article:
However, Dennis's guilty plea means he has admitted to driving a car when Hoskins was in close proximity, knowing that act was likely to cause harm or being recklessly indifferent to whether it would.
"There was no intention of Mr Dennis to harm his wife and this charge does not charge him with responsibility for her death," the retired athlete's lawyer told the court.
He was able to successfully argue that his intention wasn't to kill her, but still take responsibility for doing things that likely could had led to it. Seems at the very least morally dubious to me
-
Hmm… Doesn’t this:
“ However, Dennis's guilty plea means he has admitted to driving a car when Hoskins was in close proximity, knowing that act was likely to cause harm or being recklessly indifferent to whether it would.”
Fully contradict this:
"There was no intention of Mr Dennis to harm his wife”
-
No I’m actually agreeing with you. I don’t think the lawyer should be saying that given what he’s plead guilty to.
-
Legally I believe there is a difference between intention and indifference.
-
Have you read that? God it's got more bullshit than a influencer.
"More than just the eye-catching results, Lefevere fostered a family feel and loyalty base within the team, which is almost unique within a sport of such a transient nature. The team earned the moniker of ‘The Wolfpack’ as they are famed for its team spirit and willing to race as a collective, who were prepared to go in to battle for each other. The atmosphere within in the team is demonstrated when examining the team’s staff list, many of whom have been loyal to the team since the very early days of its existence."
-
He's been talking about retiring for some time, so it doesn't surprise me, especially as he'll be seventy next month.
He's not really attuned to modern values, but you have to admire what he's done with that team and Tom Boonen racing from Camden up Highgate Hill< -
the guy that owns pinarello is also a major investor in Q36.5 - Ivan Glasenberg

Why is it that you can just get into your 1 ton metal box, hit someone on purpose with it (the clear intention of killing them) and the law somehow not seeing that as equal to say shooting or stabbing someone. Just fucked
