At this point, it doesn't seem that anyone knows whether Rasmussen has doped. So far there's only hearsay and no proof. Whitney Richards tells a plausible story, but he also supposedly dumped the evidence. It's also interesting that no other cycling news sources have jumped on this yet, and it's been on Velonews for over 24 hours now. Edit: I just found this article at BikeRadar.com. The reader comments below the article say a lot, especially this one: "Other sports must look at cycling and laugh because as long as we are bent on witch hunting the pressure is off them to make any attempt to clean up there [sic] act."
As with any other rider accused of doping, we shouldn't make any assumptions about Rasmussen until there's either definitive evidence or an admission of guilt. Just wait and see what other information comes out.
