So Rumsas has decided to protect his reputation by filing a defamation suit against the French judge who ridiculed him in the press. And what great sum is he suing this judge for, saying he impuned his reputation? One euro. Yep. He feels his reputation is worth about a buck. Personally, I think he's overestimated it by about 2 Euros. What a pathetic doping scumbag. Thanks, Ronde Chimp
If this is true, it's actually a good thing. We may all have our opinions about Rumsas (and his drug dealing wife), but the fact remains that he didn't test positive for anything (which is the incompetence of the testing organization, IMO). Maybe they'll take a closer look at the treatment of the athletes, and the possibility that some may actually NOT be cheating dopers. Just wait until Simoni's lawyers start looking for the financial damages due to getting thrown out of the Giro, then de-selected from The Tour. The good of it will be that the testing agencies will HAVE to be ABSOLUTELY sure that a guy is cheating, and if there's any doubt, that he goes free (Moninger). Instead of this b.s. system that's in place now...... Ronde Chump
I don't think it has anything to do with $$$$$$$$ It's the way the FRENCH handle their affairs. Guilty until proven innocent. Damn good thing that the French judge from the Ice Skating wasn't there.... MMMMMMMMM French are building a reputation...or maybe justifying the one they got already!

But for Rusmas to even pretend he's innocent is laughable. Sure he didn't test positive for doping - hmm, could that be due to the boot-ful of masking agents his wife was toting in her car? Simoni on the other hand has a huge case. He should sue for millions; a successful lawsuit like his could do a lot to advance the cause of accused athletes. But for Rums-ass to sue for *one* euro says a lot about his case, and doesn't help cyclists at all. Thanks, Ronde Chimp
