Given Aussie pro Mr Jongewaard is off to jail for a reasonable period of time I was thinking back to which other pro cyclists have been to jail in the past... for more than an overnight sober up in the cells.

Johan Van de Velde
Radomir Simunek
Jock Boyer
Stephen Pate
Gary Neiwand

a couple of Colombians the names I forget.

Probably wouldn't be a bad article for CN to see how many have come back to elite level , given Chris Jongewaard is hoping to . I remember Simunek was allowed to train & then pardoned by Havel during his spell inside for vehicular manslaughter.
