The Chicken will confess today

[T-Nielsen]

Is the Anti Doping Danmark press conference being shown anywere? Asking my danish friends

 

[jyhjyh]

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

And he did not say: I doped because everybody else did.

Respect.

 

[Mr.38%]

So who is The Chicken now?

 

[neineinei]

If it's Sorensen then it happened in 2002.

And outside SOL. But Rolf Sørensen is saying Nicki and that he will be named at the press conference of the Federation and the anti-doping agency (?), where Rasmussen won't be present, I presume?

 

[hektoren]

So who is The Chicken now?

Bjarne Riis.

 

[the asian]

According to Danish press, Nicky Sorensen was named by Rasmussen.

The heat must surely be on Bjarne Riis now. Surely with Tyler's and presumably Chicken's evidence they will have enough on him to force him out.

 

[JimmyFingers]

can't wait to hear further details. With the various investigations going on, and finally 'proper' confessions from riders, the house of cards may be finally about to crumble

 

[thirteen]

And he did not say: I doped because everybody else did.

Respect.

precisely. he did it the way it should be done, including speaking to all authorities and talking to them first.

respect.

They will just be sorry for Rasmussen that he doped so hard, took such risks with his health, and barely gained any performance from it. Doping doesn't help dude!
Everyone with a brain knows that the climbing times and recovery these guys manage are absurd. Just being tough andd trianing a lot, getting skinny, just doesn't add up to such performances. Whenever I was up against riders of similar level, the difference was just insane. I never could wrap my heads around that being humanly possible, but as a gullable fanboy, and seeing it happen from within the race, I had to accept it true. Today, I kindof like my chances against such "talents", if we get to prepare in a desert monestary, same food, same training. The difference between amateurs and pro's may well have been preparation, and profession.

I think we can safely say that Contador and Evans are very talented. Their test results in the lab are quite extraordinary. Unlike Rasmussen, he was nothing special. He really had to go on a steady diet of pure doping to beat them. This is not to say that Contador and Evans are squeaky clean, mind.

This isn't really news though, is it? Riis even warned Rabo-manager Raas that Rasmussen was a danger.

http://www.antidoping.dk/da/Aktuelt/2013/01/Michael_Rasmussen_UK.aspx

"The NOC's Doping Commission therefore intends to prosecute Michael Rasmussen before the Doping Tribunal, requesting a suspension of 8 years, but reduced by three quarters to 2 years, starting on 1 October 2012, i.e. from after Rasmussen participated in his last race."

 

[hektoren]

Head of Danish sport, Morten Mølholm Hansen, says the ADA's got an exclusive and detailed insider-account from a hitherto closed world, thanks to Rasmussen.

I think the story has been that CSC were worried about his blood values, not that Riis knew all about his doping

ADD will not elaborate on what MR has said in terms of teams and riders.


Pfff, another disapointment.

It would have to be an inside-the-park home run though, have you SEEN those arms?

 

[neineinei]

Anti Doping Denmark says Rasmussen forgot to say he had used DynEPO.

Yes, they will. But not yet.

Yes, they will. But not yet.

Today? Or in the next couple of days, months?

No idea.

The pressconference

http://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/cykling/article1911772.ece

obviously in danish

 

[neineinei]

Rasmussen is giving one interview today, to TV2 Denmark's Morten Ankerdal. It will be aired 21.25. 25 minutes. No restrictions on what Ankerdal can ask, but that doesn't have to mean Rasmussen can answer all questions. It will be taped this afternoon.

http://sporten.tv2.dk/2013-01-31-rasmussen-taler-ud-i-eksklusivt-tv-2-interview?forside

From what was said at the press conference he was still talking to the ADA's and couldn't say much yet.

 

[RetroActive]

What a circus.

That adds DHEA and IGF-1 to the list of doping he has admitted to have used.

I disagree. Rasmussen was one of 3 strongest climbers in the 2005 Tour. There is nothing shameful in being a worse climber than Armstrong and Basso. He was extremely strong at the 2006 Tour too. But team asked him work for Menchov. In 2006 Rasmussen didn't already plan to fight for GC considering 2 long TTs. But Menchov faild whereas Rasmussen felt global climbing reserve in that Tour. He kept silent and decided to work on TT primarily. Again, Contador's climbing turned out to be a lot bigger sensation than Rasmussen's climbing in 2007 when dane's superiority over Evans didn't surprise anyone whatsoever.

His climbing wasn't surprising at the -07 Tour, his TT's were.
