rasmussen did not get robbed. he broke the rules, got busted, appealled and lost, and then served his suspension. that part is all routine.
(rabobank and menchov did get robbed, but that is another thread altogether)
what makes his story different is that he got caught up in a p***ing war between the ASO and UCI, which have all treated his case criminally. the problem did not start when he was removed from the tour. he should never have been allowed to start. the UCI should be brought to justice for their shameful tactics here. but they won't be.
and his story is different from others in that he has done everything wrong since. if he had sat out his sentence and prepared himself for a return, with all of the necessary politics and pr, he might have fared better. as it is, it is unclear how much "blackballing" is going on.
what is clear is that ras is not doing his part. not even close. he is a maelstrom of uncontrolled toxicity. blech. what organization is going to take that on? i wouldn't. seriously, he all but threatened the life of the head of his national federation today--OUT LOUD, IN A PRESS CONFERENCE! as if jasper wolle is responsible for ras's doping. the chicken is seriously (and dangerously) delusional.
the simple facts are that he broke the rules and has done absolutely nothing since to help his case. whether he is being blackballed or not is hard to tell. but it shoud be easy to see that he has not taken any responsibility for his actions. a little repentance and honesty would go a long way towards helping his cause. he doesn't have to cry like millar or be a total douche like ricco, but just give us something to work with besides the unrepentant, paranoid, delusional psychobabble. please.
