Michael Boogerd plans to be an important part of the management team of the new Roompot team that was presented yesterday. However, the Dutchman still has no license as he is awaiting the verdict in his doping case.

Yesterday Michael Boogerd presented his new employer, the Roompot team, with mixed emotions. "I am happy but there is still this small issue with the license," the Dutchman told Wielerflits. "I am still not completely free to feel very happy but I am pleased that the team is ready."

After his doping confession, Boogered is still awaiting a license from the Federation in Belgium where he lives. "For sure, it frusrates me. I am really upset about it. This week I was a bit broken too. I had my mother on the phone and she can't really handle it. It frustrates me greatly that nothing happens. I fear the worst: everyone wants to stay out of it and nobody dares to make a decision. " 

The ex-professional hopes that the case will be resolved soon. "This should not hang over me. I am not free to give one hundred percent and I do not feel one hundred percent part of the team. That's no fun. I just want to get started."
