CAS hears Rasmussen appeal

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) heard the appeal of Michael Rasmussen on Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland regarding the Dane's two-year suspension for missing out-of-competition doping controls.

The ex-Rabobank rider was not present in Lausanne, where arbitrators met for five hours. The ruling will follow in a few weeks.
