    A New Zealand sports star accused of dishonestly taking a vehicle and intentional damage has appeared in court for the first time in person since he was charged

    A New Zealand sports star accused of dishonestly taking a vehicle and intentional damage has appeared in court for the first time in person since he was charged


    The man - who listed his occupation on court documents as "athlete" - is facing two charges in the Christchurch District Court.

    An interim suppression order prevents the reporting of his name and any other details that may identify him.

    It's alleged that on November 15 - the day after Cup Day in Christchurch - the man allegedly took a car worth $10,000 from another person, before intentionally damaging the car owner's garage door.

    The man's pleaded not guilty to both charges, and elected a judge-alone trial.
