looks that way.
From racing underdog hero, to wronged tragic newlywed man (that is high debatable now, it brings the whole Dubai event into question), to jailed women beater.
Just because someone rides/races bikes doesn't mean they're necessarily a nice person. From racing underdog hero, to wronged tragic newlywed man (that is high debatable now, it brings the whole Dubai event into question), to jailed women beater.
Amazing how the 5 pages of indignant sympathy posters have suddenly gone deafeningly quiet.
Perhaps in future it might be best to let the local law enforcement do their job, or do the petition masses know something they don't??

Completely agree. Amazing how the 5 pages of indignant sympathy posters have suddenly gone deafeningly quiet.

!House and feed him ....! Send him home , I'll pay .....! Errrrrrr, hang on ......
Send him down, string him up ....!
Hahaha- like a bad episode of Celebrity Jungle Z grade Brook Enders, Sun reading, clutch at whatever straw you're being fed nonsense.
As stated - you do not know him .
The same as most of the people in the public eye.
This thread exemplifies the fact that people are people, forget the biking thing, who cares.
I know " bikers" I wouldn't piss on in a ditch if I ever saw them at the bottom of one.
...and some I would house and feed as long as I could afford to ....once they became friends.
I have no opinion on the wife incident...but a very definite one on the girlfriend....let's just say prison would be a safe haven if it was my sister/mother/daughter.....probably goes for most of us,I guess.
I hope not to see much of him in the press in the future.

The rosed tinted glasses for those 2 can never happen ever again.
One was the biggest cycling drug cheat ever, the other, well our petition at the time seemed right, but now?

Liking Sean as a racer is one thing, but why does that mean he's a great guy?? His racing exploits are nothing to do with his private life and to link the two seems a bit..... well....you know....
As for Lance, pretty much the entire Peleton is doped up to the eyeballs, always have been. Do you really think he achieved all he did by fair means and being a lovely guy. pretty much every exceedingly successful person is in truth a monster who manipulates others to their own will. They are so successful BECAUSE they are willing to do what many others will balk at. Yet you buy into the marketing mans spin linking person to brand.
Perhaps a healthy dose of cynicism would be in order. sad but true
So according to the Daily Mail, he was jailed for 12 weeks on Friday 6th March, yet only 1 week later, he’s posting on twitter, saying we shouldn’t believe everything we read: https://twitter.com/Seany555/status/57644659441914... Is it him posting though, or has he smuggled a phone inside?

None of us knows all the facts, still, but that doesn't stop anyone from spouting garbage, does it?

I didn't know Emmett was a BSB champion, or is this just standard journalism from the Mail?As a teen reading fast bikes I wanted to be just like Sean Emmett, dispatch rider turned Moto GP rider. When he got to take Kevin Schwantz seat at suzuki it was as if he could do no wrong. An then The cracks began to show, eventually tumbling from race series to race series until he was off the radar completely.
Years later he pops up with a dead wife and then beating his girlfriend. I have read his failure to make more of Moto GP was on account of him liking the beer too much show true that is I don't know but if your getting arrested for beating your other half after 8 pints it adds weight to the argument.
As others have said just because you're good a riding bikes or any sport etc does not make you a nice person, Ched Evans for example (we can assume here the court was right until his appeal etc). There was an interview recently with a race team owner who did time for drug smuggling in the early 00's he explained how it all came about and if his account was true then effectively he was no Mr big but rather a man desperate to stay afloat etc who made poor choices. What I often wonder in these cases though is if it went to plan would they feel any guilt (I doubt that).
Finally Sean had a brother Jason does anyone know what happened to him?
