Sorry to bring this up again. But how the hell can he claim innocence? It would be as simple as showing your entry and exit stamps in your passport as well as your boarding records. Did I miss something?
Thought the same thing during the tour… Apparently it’s a Mexican custom to avoid all official boarder crossings.
Actually, Rasmussen flew in El Paso, then crossed the border illegally to Ciudad-Juarez where he was seen clubbing at Don Quintin. What happened after that remains a mystery. Although it is well known that his nickname was given to him there…Hence the expression ‘Que rollo pollo?’
When was he supposed to have been in Mexico? He visited our town a few months ago. I was on a trip and was not able to personally meet him this time, but as usual he visited a mutual friend.
He was also training, riding his bike alone in places where an outsider should not go alone. He passed a friend of mine without saying a word. He tried to follow him but was not able to as it was on a series of hills.

Why would he lie about his whereabouts anyway? I don’t understand. What was he trying to hide?
The best i have heard is:
“El Pollo Dopo”
.
Maybe he has a girfriend on the side

Maybe he has a girfriend on the side
how likely is that?
Looks like he should have spent more time in Mexico

concerning that pic…OMG! I never realized these guys could be so emaciated in the upper body. This could very well be one of the most unhealthy sports in the world (drug use / avoiding upper body work).
That’s it! They need to make the Tour de France shirtless so the riders can’t hide behind their jerseys. They could also give the podium girls veto power - if the girls don’t like the guy after taking a look at him, he’s not getting the stuffed lion!
Just curious…you think the secret to long life is a large upper body? There is evidence to suggest that very thin people live longer then their heartier counterparts.
Doping is another matter.
Lean body mass (not talking about monsters) is closely linked to organ function, bone density and longevity.

That means Paulo is going to post here for another while…
I think overall body symetry and balance would make for a heathier person (upper vs lower).
Because he didn’t tell the truth about where he was doesn’t mean he’s guilty of doping.
#1 Talking with another coach
#2 Talking with another Team
#3 Having an affair
#4 Training on his own. (doesn’t want to do what coach tells him)
#5 Needs some time to himself.
#6 depression
He may be guilty but I have done some pretty dumb things and would hate to have my whole life watched. If I was a pro everytime I screwed up people would say he was doping. These are just young people.
There is a big difference between doing dumb things vs lying about it.
Dave
Also a big difference in telling your family, friends, or training partners a lie about where you are, and telling anti-doping agencies the same lie.
Yep i’ve done a few dumb things that I’ve lied about before also. I know a few other people who have told a lie before.
Yes he lied, yes it was wrong, yes it looks terrible, No it doesn’t mean he was using.
