Danish rider Michael Rasmussen will have his appeal against a two-year doping ban heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport on November 14, court sources said Wednesday.

Former Rabobank rider Rasmussen, 34, was handed the ban, retroactively dated to July 2007, by the Monaco Cycling Federation where he was under license.

Rabobank management withdrew him from last year’s Tour de France after he gave misleading comments to organisers on his whereabouts regarding out-of-competition testing.
