Mailman steals Remco Evenepoel's Credit Card and withdraws 9,000 euros

Remco Evenepoel has had a major hit to his 2025 season when in early December a postal van driver opened the vehicle door and he collided with it, suffering several fractures and losing months of training. As it turns out it was not the only occasion the Olympic Champion has had issues with mail-related personnel, as it was revealed that he recently was robbed of a whole €9000 by a local postman.

Evenepoel suffered fractures to his rib, shoulder blade and hand, along with a dislocated collarbone and lung contusions after his accident on the 9th of December. At the time being he's been given the green light to return to cycling indoors, but his healing process is very much still underway and he is not yet allowed to train outside on the road. He stands on a very narrow rope, with the best possible outcome being a return to competition in mid-April. 

However, it is very possible that this could be delayed, or that he will suffer issues in the future due to the serious injuries he sustained. The Soudal - Quick-Step rider, as it turns out, was victim of stealing by a postman in the city of Anderlecht. The credit card and codes of several people were taken, and as irony would have it, Evenepoel was one of those involved.

The report from De Telegraaf details that this person was most likely taking credit cards from the mail of it's victims, and later withdrawing money using them. After this person was tracked down, it was discovered that in her residence were many other cards, including one belonging to Eveepoel who is said to have had €9000 withdrawn from a company account in which he was a shareholder. In total, the robber had taken almost €20.000 in order to finance a gambling addiction and would later throw away the cards. On the 27th of February most likely there will be a decision on the likely prison sentence.
