If Chicken rode for Discovery do you think Bruyneel would have
dismissed him for going walkabout in Italy - no way. Contador a former
protege of Saiz, implicated in Puerto and now riding for the dirtiest
team in cycling. Contador the lesser of two evils or the evil of two
lessers?

If Rasmussen rode for Discovery, he wouldn't have
got caught in a stupid lie. I don't for a second
think Bruyneel is an innocent, and I'm not actually
sure he is the tactical genius of legend. But Johan's
big strength is that he Doesn't Do Stupid ****.
Maybe all that means is that he's good at not getting
caught. From the point of view of sponsors and
even race organizers, that's good. It avoids
embarrassment and bad publicity.

dumbass,
i'll keep saying it. rasmussen didn't get fired just for visiting
italy. there's is dirt on him and the team and the UCI want to avoid a
full blown doping scandal.
disco are obviously no saints, picking up three liberty riders
(contador, paulinho, davis) and basso on a post-fuentes fire sale.

What makes you say that? The opposite is the commonly received opinion.

ASO and the TdF sure hope so, because a hell of a lot of people had to get
kicked out for them to win. To have someone come up dirty after this mess would
be sorta like running outside to rescue the bathwater.

Contrary to recent pronouncements by 'Dave' Cameron, it is not the
decline in marriage that has destroyed British society, but it is in
fact both Conservative and Labour policies which are responsible for
its breakdown. It is their immigration policies, economic policies,
their social policies, their housing policies and their decades-long
deliberate destruction of extended families and kin based communities
that have created Britain's broken society.

I'd say that the team pulled him in order to be able to attend at ASO
events in the future, for at team with a budget as Rabobanks thats
basicly a death threat.
After ASO's recent announcement regauding their future reletionship
with UCI they can do so, ASO even stated that they talked directly to
the teams sponsor.

Have you heard a peep from the chicken since it happened?
I thought the same thing as soon as I heard it. No way Rabobank would kick
him while leading unless they were pretty sure he'd be involved in some
serious scandal in the near future. As un-likely as it may seem, perhaps
team management wasn't aware of his program. Or, perhaps they fully knew
his program and that he would get nailed quick. Either way, they obviously
thought that washing their hands of him was a much better move than letting
him win the tour.
