Where is Michael Rasmussen?

Anyone has heard any news on Michael Rasmussen?

He is suying Rabobank, since he still feels wrongly treated (for millions..). He hopes that this mess is solved asap so he can sign with a new team. He wants to win the Tour. He is innocent.

This in a nutshell from the Danish press...

he could be in mexico .....or should that be Italy!

LMAO

Well that's what he said.... But... in Dutch media I read several stories that he actually announced he would sue Rabo but did not start a case yet.... He only announced it.

I don't think he is in Mexico, according to his whereabouts formular he is in Liechtenstein, training for the Tour of hope.

I've read on a forum elsewhere that he is supposed to be racing Ironman France this June 2008.

A grain of salt with that bit of news though.

He had better train well. It doesn't look like he has much hope at the moment.

Just saw his name mentioned, as someone connected with an Austrian blood bank that was being investigated for blood doping. Cyclingnews has the story.

Menchov, Boogered and himself are supposedly implicated, maybe Rabobank blew the bomb as they felt threatened by Ras lawsuit to uncover the whole deal.

I can't see how Rabobank would want this news to come out to help them in their litigation case with Rasmussen. To have three of their most senior riders implicated in these early allegations is not good publicity at all for them.

No they didn't but maybe it was a warning from Rasmussen...

I got the feeling that Rasmussen was on his own as far as medical preparation. What are the chances that Menchov and Boogerd were using the same service?

That's a one million dollar question. I don't have my first million (yet? ).

Maybe Ras was not as much on his own as Rabobank's maagement would like people to believe.
