Biography
On 1 February 2008, Rashid was removed from the position of Crown Prince of Dubai by his father for killing a servant in a drug induced rage. His father Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum appointed his younger brother Hamdan Crown Prince of Dubai.[5] Quite why this should have happened remained unclear, with the official explanation being that the current incumbent Hamdan was simply better suited to the job. That, however, was not the explanation bandied about in the upper echelons of Emirati society at the time or among the diplomatic community. The reason for the change in succession was revealed in a confidential memo sent from the US consulate in Dubai back to Washington. In the leaked diplomatic cable – published by WikiLeaks – acting consul general David Williams wrote: "It is alleged that Rashid killed an assistant in the Ruler's office, thereby forfeiting his opportunity to be heir."[4]
In January 2006 Sheikh Rashid was appointed President of the UAE Olympic Committee. However, in 2010 he resigned from his position on account of his overloaded work schedule.[citation needed]
