For Rasmussen you'd probably only get 1.1 for 1...
OTOH, Rasmussen knew the day before that he'd be tested on that stage. If he used Testosteron nevertheless then he'd really be stupid.

I'm fairly convinced Rasmussen is clean and has always been clean. If we consider the facts than there is 0 reason to consider him connected to doping at all. All his tests (and he's had many) were clean and his name is not on any known lists like the Fuentes-list neither is he performing above his abilities or having a "miraculous recovery".
His Time Trial was outstanding, but easily explainable. It went uphill or downhill and was not flat most of the time. And a very good time-trial specialist (Erik Dekker) rode with him in the morning to let Rasmussen benefit from his time-trial experience. If you add that to the morale Rasmussen had his achievement is not as remarkable as it might seem at first.
