The Chicken will confess today

[cineteq]

Hard work, self-belief, and superior talent.

Gotcha. That guy was on half of what the chicken was on.

Another leak: Rasmussen will admit being a customer at "an Austrian blood bank"

Edit: I still think that it's all about the current team survival or maybe he stopped doping being 37 and riding ssrs.

I agree but his results from the last two years are a shade of what you'd expect from a hardcore doping Chicken.

Heh, I was going to mention a certain country in the Alps.

Interesting link. Going back to Ferminal's question, maybe Dekker confessing could have prompted Rasmussen.

I would think that this is likely the end of the road for Menchov and Boogerd.

Wasn't he connected to those austrian skiers too?

He shared a centrifuge with Christian Hoffmann and Kohl.

 

[D-Queued]

Now that he is totally clean, and is totally admitting, he should be able to re-enter the peloton and Garmin can sign him.

Or, maybe Sky.

Dave.

Finally.

Someone pass the mic to Matschiner again. Time is running up for Nordic Skiing, say goodbye to ARD and ZDF.

Transfusion sound so primitive. Levi used them in 2006 too but looked so weak. I think the strongest guys already used cera in 2007. It would be know more details about the most 'dopage' TdF ever from Michael

Sad that lazy Rasmussen chose to dope instead of just losing some weight

Who knows, maybe it is a way to put a boot into the Rabo management one more time, but I am not sure that admitting to being a serial doper would help his case.

I don't think it matters at all. His case is about whether Rabobank was right to fire him at the spot. The ruling in July 2008 was that Rabobank wasn't right, and they should pay Rasmussen E665.000 in compensation. Both parties appealed, and that's now the current case.

Hahaha. Post of the day.

I don't understand why the Cristina Watch's team didn't shy away from using it's team equipment in the confession.

Publicity is publicity, I had never heard of them before

So he'll quit cycling, gets a two years ban because he worked with the authorities, will return as a sport director at Christina Watches after his ban. Won't say more today. Het admitted to using EPO, blood doping, insulin, growth hormones and cortisone.

My entry too short !

 

[DenisMenchov]

What did he say, I can't understand Danish ?

 

[Lanark]

See above. Pretty much nothing.

 

[RichWalk]

What a never ending farce pro cycling has become, be interested to hear if Bertie makes any comments on this

 

[ValleyFlowers]

from Google Translate:

- I have from today set my career. The reason is that I have partnered with the authorities to clean up the sport and solve one of the sport's thirst problems.

The consequence is that I get an exclusion.

I have availed myself of doping. It is about EPO, growth hormone, testosterone, insulin, cortisone, Blood transfusions and a few others.

I know, I ride cheated and lied. I will remedy. And take my punishment.
