funny, Mench and Dekker will come in just as juiced.

Heroes, what is the thing on Rass, did Rabo pay his contract out.

He would be [censored] if they did not pay his contract out, Basso and Ullrich get monster payouts, but not Rass?

Rass... as example of gear that turns donkeys into thoroughbreeds

Well the price was high but for TM the price could get high as well. FAZ reports that TM might stay because the sponsor is affraid that their own role in the doping scandal could be an issue if they leave the sport:

In der Zunft gab es zumindest am Dienstagmittag auch noch Stimmen, die auf ein Festhalten von T-Mobile am Radsport hindeuteten. Weil dadurch, so ein Insider, das Geschehen noch einigermaßen zu kontrollieren sei für die Equipe. Er ließ damit durchblicken: Es könnte bei einem Ende von T-Mobile durch mögliche weitere Enthüllungen noch größere Eruptionen als bisher geben. Im Moment, sagte der Mann zu den Dopingdiskussionen, „kratzen wir nur an der Oberfläche“.
