(corrects year of race to 2007 in first para)

BERNE, Switzerland, Jan 22 - Danish rider Michael
Rasmussen has lost an appeal against a two-year ban imposed
after he was expelled from the 2007 Tour de France, the Court of
Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Thursday.

Rasmussen was sacked by his Rabobank team while leading the
2007 race after it emerged he had lied about his whereabouts
during training and was banned for two years by the Monaco
Cycling Federation.
