Rasmussen to sue?

Can you really blame him? Imagine leading the biggest event in world cycling, the world at your feet, eyes on the prize and... nothing. It all gets snatched away over a technicality. Like who really cares if you have said you were somewhere you actually weren't? It's just a detail. Life is full of details. It doesn't mean you doped, does it? Innuendo and suspicion is not enough, nor little white lies over location. And it was not proved that he doped. To have the opportunity in front of you and to be stripped of all chance - and dropped from your team is heartless, cruel and way over the top. It was an over-reaction and demands retribution. Well 'Chicken' Rasmussen must think so, anyway: Michael Rasmussen is apparently planning to take Team Rabobank to court to contest his withdrawal from the Tour de France and his dismissal from the team this summer. The 33 year-old Dane has hired Dutch lawyers, who have confirmed to the Belga press agency that they have been engaged. Funny word, 'engaged'. Hope they have a nice life together. Oh well.
