News Flash: Rasmussen pulled out of Tour, fired by Rabobank
Filed: July 25, 2007
Yellow jersey wearer Michael Rasmussen was sensationally kicked out of the
Tour de France by his own Rabobank team, the Dutch outfit revealed on
Wednesday.

The Dane had seemingly weathered the storm over missing four out of
competition dope tests in the past 18 months and had won Wednesday's stage
to all but seal overall victroy.
However the team has learnt that Rasmussen lied to them over where and what
he was up to during the month of June when he was in fact in Italy and not
in Mexico as he had told them.
"He broke team rules," said a team spokesman, who said that the Dane has
also been fired from the team.
"It is not even sure if the team will carry on in the race," he added.
Rasmussen had won two stages during the Tour, though, his presence at the
race was questioned by several officials and from the race organisers as
well.
His departure leaves young Spaniard Alberto Contador in the lead with
Australian Cadel Evans in second.
