What does he say about Rasmussen?
@Susan may I quote passages, or should I paraphrase/machine translate the larger sections to make it a less direct copy/paste?
How long a direct quote is tolerated?
The first Rasmussen reference starts in the middle of a story, I'll offer a machine translation, will gladly delete if so requested. it's less than a page worth, I think.
Only Michael Rasmussen, until his suspension by the team Rabobank eight stages long in the yellow jersey, moved to, Bernhard said an appreciative pat onto rear and moved toward them alone peaks. "What does, I would once have" carbon deposited in the evening in a phone conversation with the manager happy, as I revealed this in an interview in the summer of 2009. The classic response of an athlete, which have just been shown your limits. According to the motto: "If one better than me, then he has access to more efficient doping substances."
and further in the book:
How to get to the absurdities in the daily life of a top athlete to military uses, including Michael Rasmussen has lead by example.
negotiated the Dane, for which I tried unsuccessfully in 2006, a well-paid spot in Austrian criteria was after the 2007 16 20 Tour de France stages as a superior leader by his Rabobank team removed from the race. And this happened: Against Rasmussen were during the "Great Loop" allegations have been raised that he had - according to sources - two or three times removed from a doping test by his residence at short notice announced. The polka dot jersey winner in 2005 and 2006 established the shortcomings with the long post between Mexico, where his wife is, and Denmark. His credibility, however, was shaken by an Italian journalist, Rasmussen in the relevant time when training in the Dolomites had seen. Apparently, a trusted source: The information came to the Board of Directors of team sponsor Rabobank, then transfer to the team manager Theo de Rooij, throw out the top edge was taken. De Rooij was just in the team bus on the way from the finish area to the hotel, joined during a call the back of the team bus on while the rest of the team celebrated winning the exuberant tour de France (followed by only more flat stages and a time trial). The rest of the team - stage winner Rasmussen was nachgeflogen after the award ceremony, followed by press conference by helicopter. When the tour arrived in the neighborhood hero, he was given by de Rooij in private instead of a stroke unit not only missed a proverbial beating, kicking included.
Bizarre: both athletic director Erik Breukink and Erik Dekker (one should note of Rasmussen's have had a secret training in the Dolomites, because he visited him there) knew at that time nothing of Rasmussen Elimination and wanted to hug the yellow-carrier, as the de Rooij
Room like a beaten dog left.
One of the greatest Tour de France scandals, had not entirely unexpected, will have legal consequences. Rasmussen was banned for two years, the team said in the summary dismissal, refused to pay even a premium. But conceding teammates and mechanics from powerful. Exactly
those sums that were promised in case of a Tour victory. Then also complained Rasmussen wins his bonus plus the lost earnings, he would have as a tour-de-France overall winner at several criteria used to mature one. gave knockout winner in this showdown, it has been no: They met again in the middle, sometimes the pendulum swung
in favor of one, then again in favor of the other.
On balance, however, exchanged a few hundred thousand euro changed hands. What makes us even more of a lead in mind: Who defends itself has more of life.
