Someone out there REALLY hates pro cycling

This is stupid. It never stops.

A former mountain bike racer claims that in 2002 Rasmussen tried to trick him into transporting doping blood for him. Read this:

Whitney Richards, 31, a one-time Colorado-based cross-country racer, told VeloNews that in March of 2002, Rasmussen asked him to transport a box containing cycling shoes. But the shoebox, according to Richards, actually contained bags of an American-made human blood substitute.

Now read that carefully. He's claiming that Rasmussen wanted him to take blood substitute in a shoebox?!

And why now? Rasmussen's been pretty huge in the Tour since he almost made the podium in 2005. Why is this guy saying this 5 years after the fact and two years after Rasmussen's first KOM?

I don't believe it.

Yah think?

No, I didn't mean the guy reporting this against Rasmussen. I meant the "guy" in the more general sense, like "someone up there must really be looking out for me" kind of thing.

Sorry for the vague wording.

Personally... I think cow blood has its place. The night before my last club race, I ate a rare steak. Yes there was a bit of cow blood in the centre. I placed 6th.

No, quite the opposite - someone out there really doesn't want to see the yellow jersey die of mad cow disease.
