MELBOURNE, May 6 (Reuters) - Australia's former world cycling champion Stephen Pate was sentenced to a minimum eight-month jail term on Tuesday after pleading guilty to 11 charges including assaulting his wife. The 39-year-old pleaded guilty in the Victoria County Court after assaulting his wife twice in November last year and twice more in February this year, Australian Associated Press reported. On one occasion Pate pulled a knife on his wife, held it to her throat and threatened her when she tried to call police, AAP reported. Judge John Barnett jailed Pate for 20 months. Pate, who suffered depression and started drinking heavily after missing out on selection for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, has already served three-and-a-half months in jail. The court was told Pate had been arrested last year for domestic violence and breached an intervention order by returning to the family home in Melbourne in November to confront his wife. Pate won a sprint world title in 1988 in Belgium. -----------== Posted via Newsfeed.Com - Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeed.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----= Over 100,000 Newsgroups - Unlimited Fast Downloads - 19 Servers =-----

Ask Jonathon Jacques Boyer. He probably stays in shape by fighting off the jail house lover boys.
