So book hits the shops Monday, which should see us getting 2-3 more snippets beforehand.
First round was rather tame, less than 1000 books worth imo.

In Denmark it will be pretty big in the next days I think. But Riis will just stay silent. I hope Rolf Sorensen will comment on his old teams Could be a good laugh.Dazed and Confused said:So book hits the shops Monday, which should see us getting 2-3 more snippets beforehand.

AnotherDan said:You mean Rasmussen?
I guess you refer to the article I linked to?
There's a video clip in danish as well where the journalist and editor from BT is telling about it...
The journalist tells in the clip that Rasmussen writes that doping was not enforced by Riis but "part of the package", as well as the incident where Riis saw Rasmussen (and apparently other riders as well) have doping injected by the team doctor.
Le Baroudeur said:BT really love to "Big Up" and no doubt take a cut from sales too. going by the interview the book doesn't sound worth reading tbh., and definitely not worth paying for. Michael is a very smart cookie and it will be a very calculated story for maximum personal gain.

An editor of B.T., Jacob Staehelin, states that “Michael Rasmussen does not appear (in the book) as a remorseful man. He would do it again had he the chance. From his point of view he has competed on even terms against his rivals.”
del1962 said:So if what Staehelin is true then he would do it again, he has learnt nothing
Ferminal said:That doesn't make sense at all, what was he supposed to "learn"? Of course if he was faced with the same choices he would make more or less the same decisions, why shouldn't he?

JRanton said:What are you trying to say? That Rasmussen is lying and that Bjarne and Nicki are innocent?
You seem overly defensive of a guy who should have absolutely no place in cycling. I don't mean to be rude but I'm not really sure how the Danish cycling public haven't worked that one out for themselves by now.
Ferminal said:Yikes, don't go after those Slipstream boys. Now you're just bitter.

Ojo! Michael Rasmussen says he explained Ryder Hesjedal how to take EPO and cortisone back in 2003!
