Michael Rasmussen is the third rider to be cast from the race due to doping and doping-related charges. Like Floyd Landis last year, Rasmussen is claiming innocence, but it appears he lied to his team managers about where he was when he missed two drug tests.
The riders who've been banned this year all had won at least one stage in fairly dramatic fashion, holding off the rest of the pack and sometimes sprinting out far ahead of everyone else. Vinikourov did it the day after "blowing up" in a stage, very similarly to Floyd Landis' eyebrow raiser last year. It's not completely unfathomable that a rider can bonk one day and zoom out in front the next, but wouldn't it make more sense to stay at or near the head of the pack? At least, that's how Lance did it.

Who would you like to serve? This site helps track down positions within your zip code where you can volunteer. I did a search and found everything from a 3-day stint doing festival set-up to weekly office work at a senior center.
