Jeroen Blijlevens was expelled from the 2000 Tour de France after striking American rider Bobby Julich following the final stage on the Champs-Élysées. Blijlevens was frustrated because he claimed to have been obstructed by Julich during the final sprint. After the finish, the altercation escalated, and he threw punches—an act that resulted in his disqualification and removal from the official results.
