I bet there are some civil lawsuits before this pantomine
reaches the second act.
Now I must admit to not knowing the exact legal structure or
administrative heirarchy used by Cofidis to
run/operate/control the team but ordering riders not to ride
would seem to me to be potentially actionable on numerous
grounds by the riders and possibly by other third parties
who may have suffered damages, for example the organizers of
the Manchester World Cup event and even ticket holders who
had prepurchased tickets in anticipation of seeing the Hong
Kong Haggis Snapper pull the Brits to victory in the
pursuit, which they did anyway without much mental anguish
on the part of the rest of the squad because the HKHS wasn't
even on the squad a week ago.
There maybe some mitigation if Cofidis (or whomever the
riders are directly bound to by contract) still pays the
salaries of riders ordered not to ride but not neither
convicted of any offense by a court of competent
jurisdiction nor suspended by any ruling body for
contravention of any rules.
Where the frig is Stikeman Elliot's limelight seeking,
rabble rousing, loud mouthed, poor loser, money grabbing,
IOC Presidential reject, WADA-Sonderkommando Fuhrer and
SuperWanker ***** (sorry ****) Pound when we need him. I bet
he could make the lads a fortune and gain himself some
publicity too if he handles a class action suit on this one.
Davey sure ain't no Lawyer, but he is in fact an accountant
who has worked over the years on several suits for damages
and if he had a client affected by Cofidis' actions, he'd
sure as heck be checking the phone book for Stikeman
Elliot's telephone number!!
