ok, so this from nytimes......MADRID (Reuters) - Tour de France winner Alberto Contador was banned from the Hamburg Cyclassics event on August 19 because of his connection with the Operation Puerto blood doping scandal in Spain involving doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.
"Our basic position is that we don't want to have any riders in the Hamburg race who are on the Fuentes list," Frank Bertling, managing director of the event, was quoted as saying by the German news agency SID.
Denmark's Michael Rasmussen, who was sacked by his team Rabobank and thrown out of the Tour de France last month while leading the race for lying to the team about his training whereabouts, has also been barred from the 229-km race. Rasmussen has denied any wrongdoing.
