Johan Museeuw, who was suspended for two years by the Belgian Cycling Federation (KBWB) in October for his involvement in the Landuyt affair, is taking the federation to court over what he believes was an unfair decision against him.
Museeuw's lawyer Jozef Lievens is arguing that the KBWB had no right to suspend his client, as Museeuw had already retired and handed in his licence and therefore held no valid contract with the KBWB.
"Johan Museeuw should know that in 2004 he was in receipt of a licence from the KBWB, and that therefore that he had to obey the rules," said the president of the KBWB's disciplinary commission Cyriel Coomans.

The big names like Peter Van Petegem, Frank Vandenbroucke, Michele Bartoli and Johan Museeuw were many degrees away from their best form, and allowed an immensely strong Stefan Wesemann to win 'De Ronde', and Tom Boonen to take the midweek classic with ease.
Museeuw, like all his old rivals, suffered from the strong winds in the Tour of Flanders - winds so strong that it deprived them of their teamates shelter almost the entire day, and weakened them before the final hills came into play.
Unlike in Flanders, when it was hard to tell who Quick-Step was riding for - Museeuw, Boonen, or Paolo Bettini, it was obvious Boonen was their chosen man in the midweek classic, as long as the team could keep the race together all the way to the line.
