    "They should be ashamed of themselves - after so many years of good work
    together and after everything I have done for the team, they just handle me like
    a fax number."

    Fax numbers don't get pulled over tripping their asses off.

    Fax numbers might not go through but you don't pay millions of deutchmarks for
    the disappointment.

    Fax numbers don't need performance enhancing drugs to achieve second place.

    Now that's just plain mean.

    Why didnt they wait for some resolution of the issue? If he's not a
    doper..or cant be proven a doper...he could still be an asset to the team.
    A little trigger happy, arent they?

    Maybe he'll be back on a bianchi next year.

    Maybe Godefroot was right about Pevenage. I'd rather they waited until things
    shake out legally before they do this, however.

    Would have taken too long and his refusal to give any explanation
    whatsoever certainly triggered this. Our win his loss.

    It was. All along I've felt Ullrich hasn't gotten quite the credit he deserved
    being an unfortunate part of the Lance era. And I really don't assume that any
    GC man is completely following every doping rule there is. They are simply
    unreasonable and unrealistic. Still [censored] when the violation is sloppy and
    blatant.

    A spokesman of T-Mobile said tonight that they have given Ullrich and
    Sevilla all the time to prove their innocence, but they failed. True, there
    has been a time that it was the other way around and that an accuser had to
    prove a defendant guilty, but fortunately such rules have become obsolete in
    bicycle racing.

    While in a court of law the standard usually requires the prosecution to
    prove guilt, in an employment contract I'm quite sure that standard has
    never applied. All that matters is the terms of the contract (with some
    minimal standards extraneously imposed).

    Perhaps, the team requested DNA tests and Ullrich refused or they
    confirmed that Ullrich lied about his connection to the doctor. They
    don't need proof of doping, just that their employee is lying to them
    and refusing to cooperate.

    OK was I the only person thinking even if Ullrich is
    innocent this was a good thing? I mean after T-Mobiles
    latest great team performance in le tour would he
    still want to be on the team?

    Have they ever consistently performed better? There's been a day or two when Jan
    could get at least cooperation. That's it.

    Question is: Who are your peers in this regard? Your married friends or
    the other guys involved with your wife? SCNR 😉
