dumbass,

i'll keep saying it. rasmussen didn't get fired just for visiting
italy. there's is dirt on him and the team and the UCI want to avoid a
full blown doping scandal.

I'd say that the team pulled him in order to be able to attend at ASO
events in the future, for at team with a budget as Rabobanks thats
basicly a death threat.
After ASO's recent announcement regauding their future reletionship
with UCI they can do so, ASO even stated that they talked directly to
the teams sponsor.
