COPENHAGEN, Jun 12 (CP) - The Danish Team CSC has reacted to allegations concerning a 'secret file' with information on domestic and international journalists, calling the accusations insulting and completely false. Recently, rumours had that the Danish formation had been maintaining a database of journalists, used for the riders to know who to talk to, and more importantly, who not to talk to. In an official press statement, CSC said to be "very chocked to hear the accusations made by a French journalist, about the way Team CSC interacts with the press". "These are very serious and insulting claims and they are all completely false. We do not have, nor do we intend to make such a file in the future, and furthermore we do not agree with the keeping of such files on journalists." "We have contacted the journalist and have demanded a complete retraction of these accusations."
