I think the sad thing is that the ASO, Rabobank, Danish Cycling Federation and UCI knew most of the details of the Rasmussen case before the tour started. If they actually had their s*** together he shouldn't have started.
However, to throw him out 2/3rds of the way through is a joke. Its just the ASO and Rabobank caving into the witch hunt to cover up their initial mistakes. He's pretty much proved he's the best rider out there rendering the actual result of this tour meaningless.
I don't believe he cheated, I just believe he's a bit of as stropy git and was deliberately uncooperative with the doping authorities. However, in this climate he's now paying the penalty for messing them around.
