PARIS (AFP) — Denmark's Michael Rasmussen, who was thrown out while leading the 2007 Tour de France for lying about his whereabouts, has been banned for two years by the Monaco cycling federation, the sport's world governing body UCI said on Tuesday.

Rasmussen was thrown off the race on July 25 by his Rabobank team while wearing the leader's yellow jersey for lying about his whereabouts the previous month when he was being sought out for doping tests.
