Where should rasmussen go?

[issoisso]

Remember how he had a temporary contract with Miche to ride the Tour de San Luis?

They've finally agreed on a 1 year contract.

Just spend 20 minutes trying to do some research on the net. This is the best I can come up with:

It states that Matschiner acquits MR and he has nothing to do with the case which is very much in accordance with the case files.

However this link is very interesting:

http://politiken.dk/sport/cykling/article783391.ece

Google translation: didn't work

According to this article puplished in Politiken it appears from the police report, that Matschiner has explained that MR was in the appartment (in Linz, Austria) to give off some blood.
meaning he was busy violating the anti doping rules even though he was allready under suspension.

According to Verner Møller (who by the way is in possession of the police report) this story puplished by Politiken is untrue.
VM explains that from the report it apears very clearly that Matschiner has never said anything like that

What Politiken presents as an explanation made by Matschiner is actually a secondhand explanation from Kohl.

furthermore MR has voluntarily submitted his dna and fingerprint, as opposed to Boogerd and T. Dekker.

So you don't find suspicious at all the fact that Matschiner is trying to stay out of jail by denying his dealings with the blood bank and the centrifuge involved doping any sportsmen and therefore denying he did anything illegal?

How gullible can someone be?

where on earth did I state anything like that?

 

[karlboss]

Miche, that answers that question, hopefully they can get themselves a giro invite.

Don't think so. it's a rather small team from 3. division.
I'm not 100 % certain but I believe it's against the rules.

Yup. No Wild Card = no ProTour/Historic events for them

As far as your posts in this topic go, that's your argument for Chicken being innocent: Matschiner said so

No maybe you need to read my post again. My argument for MR being innocent, is that nothing in the police report suggest that they can build a strong case against him.

The fact that Matschiner told the police that MR is innocent proofs that the article from Politiken is untrue.

You could wonder why so many journalist takes so little interest in finding the truth. Instead they try to build up this storie.

I can't proof anything but it turns out the timing of these rumours are very convenient For UCI and DCU (Dansk cykle Union) who have used it activily to delay the process of getting MR back to the pro peloton after the suspension expired.

MR is still riding on a amateur licence for crying out loud
