Rasmussen sues Rabobank for 5.6 million Euro
Lawsuit stems from Tour de France 2007
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Rasmussen is suing Rabobank for 42 million Danish kroner, or about 5.6 million euro. He is claiming damages stemming from his dismissal from the team after the 🃏Tour de France 2007.
Rasmussen was wearing the yellow jersey in the Tour when he was removed from the race and he was subsequently fired by t✨he Dutch team. He was later suspended for two years after 🔥it was found that he had lied about his whereabouts whilst training for the Tour.
In July 2008, a Dutch cღourt ruled that while Rabobank had rightfully dismissed the Dane, it still owed him 715,000 euros.
“I won the first case,” Rasmussen told De Telegraaf. “However, the judge made a miscalculation.” That payment included his Tour de France bonus payment a🍸nd two months of salary.
“My contract ran through the end of the year. Furthermore, I was missing out on 300,000 euros in signed criterium contracts plus spo🌳nsorships and contributions. Just based on that, I should be reimbursed 1.1 million euros.
“Now, however, I can demonstrate the consequences of the decision. If I had won the Tour I would have had a contra🅺ct for several million for a few years. We demand more than 5.6 million. We are not looking too high.”
The hearing🎀 is expected to be held sometime th⭕is fall.
