Yes, it does matter where he was. Part of being a pro cyclist is letting the UCI and your team know where you are at all times. If he was in Italy, why did he tell everyone he was in Mexico? Probably because he has something to hide. Rabobank were stupid to let him start in the first place. The race has been cloaked in scandal and could not afford another one. Rasmussen's own country dropped him from their team for the World Championships this year because he missed two tests.
