i held back my opinion about alex's screw-up until now.ricara said:Maybe I'm just a chump, but after reading Rasmussen's explanations I'm inclined to believe him. On the first one he actually got tested anyway because he was at a race.
Then the third one should be easy to corroborate, at least with regards to his attending his sister's confirmation. And as far as the "Send" button goes, I actually do this all the time. You see, I still use an old e-mail program that was written back in the day when the only way to get on the internet was via dial-up telephone lines. There were charges by the minute, so you didn't want to rack up the bills.
So what you would do was connect to the internet, download the new e-mails, disconnect from the internet, write all the responses, reconnect to the internet, send the e-mails, and finally disconnect from the internet for good. This convoluted process allowed you to only use a few minutes of "internet" time each day.
To aid this process, the e-mail program has two "send" buttons. One puts the new e-mail into a queue when working off-line. Then the other one actually sends the e-mails when you are connected to the internet.
However I seriously doubt that this is the kind of software the Mr. Rasmussen is using...
Still, I really, really want to believe him! And I'm not the kind of guy that buys very many of these stories. Am I just a chump? Time will tell. If he's telling the truth, it would be a huge shame to lose your job and your career in such a manner.

1 - The majority of the product would not be fully fermented etc & as a result it would be very hazardous to ones health to consume said produce in an unfinished state.
2 - The security levels in a Brewery are quite high so you wouldnt get very far trying to steal drink from the warehouses, not to mention that you wouldnt have a security key to even access the plant.
3 - There wouldnt be many takers if you went to them in the street & asked them to join you. Even your closest friends would balk at the idea. You can organise the same party in an official & licensed premises without any fear of sanctions.
4 - How would you get the product out of its fermenting & processing containers? You could fall & break your neck etc etc.
It is extremely difficult to organise a knees up in a brewery.

He would probably forget to hit the send Text button on his phone when he was texting us to arrange the shenanigans in said Alehouse.

I'm only reading via google translate, but it seems that having spoken to Vaughters, he has an assurance that he'll ride for his team.
RedheadDane said:Hey, I have a question. According to this article:
http://sporten.tv2.dk/cykling/article.php/id-45490769:rasmussen-har-fundet-ønskestraf.html
a one-year-ban would mean he could participate in the Giro, while a 10-month-ban would mean he could participate in the track worlds, and possibly qualify for the olympics.
When are we counting the bans from? The date he had his last warning?
