Alex Nicki Rasmussen (born 9 June 1984) is a Danish former professional racing cyclist, who rode professionally between 2009 and 2016 for the Template:Cycling data SAX, Template:Cycling data THR, Template:Cycling data GRM, Template:Cycling data VPC, Template:Cycling data TVC and Template:Cycling data TCQ teams. Primarily specialising in track cycling, Rasmussen was also proficient in road racing, winning the Danish National Road Race Championships in 2007.
Career
He was the 2005 Scratch World Champion. Together with Michael Mørkøv, Rasmussen won the Danish Madison Championships six times in a row, and as such, are nicknamed the 'Par nummer syv' (Pair number seven).
On 15 September 2011, his contract with Template:Cycling data THR was terminated for missing a doping control, at which time the team was made aware of two previous controls he had missed before he joined them. Rasmussen was also removed from the Danish UCI Championships team, and faced criminal prosecution.[1] However, on 17 November, Rasmussen was cleared of the charges due to a procedural error on the part of the UCI.[2] His previously signed contract with Template:Cycling data GRM for the 2012 season, nullified upon news of the whereabouts violations, was again honored.[3] The UCI appealed this decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in December 2011, with the original decision being overturned on 4 July 2012. As a result, Rasmussen was given a backdated 18-month ban, meaning that he would be suspended until April 2013. His contract with the renamed Template:Cycling data GRM squad was also terminated.[4][5]
On 19 March 2013, Template:Cycling data GRM re-signed Rasmussen for the remainder of the 2013 season.[6][7] Rasmussen left Template:Cycling data GRM following the 2013 season,[8] and subsequently announced plans to re-enter track cycling.[9] Rasmussen joined Template:Cycling data VPC for the 2014 season.[10]
