"Frank Schleck surprised by RadioShack dumping"
He is quoted in the story as being surprised by being dumped and proudly states that he did not look around for other work during his 12 month suspension.
What a complete moron!
Would any other employee be surprised if their employer did not renew their employment contract after said employee violated the terms of the employment contract by failing a drug test?
Radioshack invested heavily in Frank. Frank returned the favor by doing little other than bringing a lot of negative press to Radioshack while earning no marketing space during the past year.
In short, he was a terrible investement for his sponsors.
Still, he expresses "surprise" that the same sponsors won't pay him more.
There are several types of stupid. Unfortunatley, Frank Schleck has lived up to the definition of them all, and done so quite publicly.
Still, there are some on this forum who would cast aspersions at his employers. Let any of them make such a poor investment in an employe then re-hire that employee.
You do realize, however, that everyone is on the sauce and the sponsors are hypocrites. Sure Frank "deserves" to get fired, though the sponsors know that they invest in tainted merchandise. Hell Radio Shack entered the sport riding the wave of LA. Yet the signs were on the wall for anyone not completely moronic to have seen them.
