With that in mind, I don't think any case he may or may not bring against the Tour will hold water. <BR/><BR/>You cannot compete in the Tour without a team, so even if Tour officials supported his continued participation in this race (and I think it is safe to say they don't) the rules would still prohibit them from allowing it.<BR/><BR/><I>Rasmussen was kicked because he was suspected of doping, a case that will not hold in court.

The Rabobank spokesman said he was pulled for violating the team's internal rules. I doubt he'll have a good case against them either.CC McGoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12206136888068888440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24213446.post-62964987502581722802007-07-26T11:18:00.000-05:002007-07-26T11:18:00.000-05:00Rasmussen will sue and he will win.

Rasmussen has not tested positive for any banned substance in any test on any samples, and you need 2 positive samples to ban someone. Rasmussen was kicked because he was suspected of doping, a case that will not hold in court. He is going to take his team and the Tour to the cleaners.Ghosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05160118520611754510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24213446.post-1462024953823441852007-07-26T10:18:00.000-05:002007-07-26T10:18:00.000-05:00I'm going to walk two laps around Memorial Park jo...I'm going to walk two laps around Memorial Park jogging loop today. I won't jog. Jogging is crazy. I'll make it the whole six miles with the aid of nothing but water. If anybody tries to toss me off the loop I'll stand my ground.Texas Liberalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06204858567038744871noreply@blogger.com
