The Chicken will confess today

[ValleyFlowers]

And it didnt last long. It's over all ready.
They took no questions from the reporters.

 

[hrotha]

That's it? Man, they gave it all away in the pre-press conference info. Like a trailer containing all the funny scenes from a movie.

 

[roundabout]

Maybe there will be something from DIF and ADD in 70 minutes time.

 

[Dear Wiggo]

Damnit. Been thinking of posting all day: laugh if he says nothing. Coulda shoulda woulda.

Transparency as only pro cycling can dish it up.

Michael Rasmussen is doing an interview on TV2 tonight at 21.30.

 

[Amsterhammer]

'Anti-climax' doesn't quite do that 'performance' justice.

He wouldn't give more details in the press-conference, according to the wishes of the ADA's he's working with.

First the team owner said Rasmussen had been doping non stop, with no significant pause, from 1998 to 2010, then Rasmussen admitted to have used EPO, growth hormones, testosterone, insulin, cortisone and blood transfusions. He can't say anything more. He is cooperating with the USADA and the Dutch anti-doping agency as well as the Danish Anti-doping agency and WADA.

Google translates suggests Michael Rasmussen said:

When I leave the room here, so it's like a relieved man, I have no longer a heavy burden to carry around.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Good and brave move by Rasmussen.
If he delivers all information, I think we can keep the ball moving.
Ahead or behind the curve? For some, this will be the key question.

 

[neineinei]

No information has been given about the length of the ban.

Maybe the Danish Sports Federation and the Danish Anti-doping agency will give the information at their press conferance 15.30.

CN reports 8 year ban reduced to 2 years for outstanding effort and bus throw-undery.

 

[Sørensen]

Claus Hembo just said in an interview with tv2 that Rasmussen will name other riders, both former and currently active ones.

Claus Hembo just said in an interview with tv2 that Rasmussen will name other riders, both former and currently active ones.

According to Rolf Sorensen an active Danish pro will be named in the 15.30 press conference. Speculation is it could be Nicky Sorensen (he and Rasmussen rode together at CSC).

 

[neineinei]

According to the team owner Rasmussen stopped doping in the spring 2010.

Christina Watches has given him a job in the firm, away from the cycling team. They want to take care of him.

He will tell all to the ADA's, then he will talk to the press. According to Claus Hembo.

Get Katrine Fønsmark on it....I'll tell HER everything!
(But keep Hanne Holm away!)

According to team owner Hembo he can't say anything about the ban, but he clearly knows, so probably others do too.

Does this also cover behind the scene works.

If it is only about roadracing it does not matter. His career has practically been over for a while. He is what 37-38 and has not pedalled a dent in a soft hat all season.

How has he bagged this Christina Watches gig? Seems to have himself a lovely arrangement here.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Anyone with any link to Rasmussen during his career will have sleepless nights. He has told absolutely everything.

 

[neineinei]

According to Rolf Sorensen an active Danish pro will be named in the 15.30 press conference. Speculation is it could be Nicky Sorensen (he and Rasmussen rode together at CSC).

Does this mean they are handing out a ban to some other rider already? Wow.

 

[T-Nielsen]

Does this mean they are handing out a ban to some other rider already? Wow.

If it is Sørensen he has probably confessed and will retire.

 

[roundabout]

Does this mean they are handing out a ban to some other rider already? Wow.

If it's Sorensen then it happened in 2002.

Rasmussen came out swinging, and hits a home run. Finally a doper that doesn't hold back.

Great, isn't it? A one-man TRC!
