  1. The allegations are as follows:

    On Jan Ullrich: The surname "Jan" appears four times in document 32, where
    it is linked to a list of code-named products, which are: blood, growth
    hormone, IGF-I (growth factor) and testosterone.

    .... So the "surname 'Jan'" couldn't refer to Xavier Jan?

    When I read the story you snipped that from, I really hoped it was just a
    really poorly-done synopsis. I didn't see much in the way of "damning
    evidence" in most of the cases they detailed.

    Or more likely Jan Hruska.

    I can only hope they have something better than that... like a DNA
    test...?

    Or maybe I hope they don't... get their asses sued... make an example
    of them...

    Just possible that the translation of "surname" from text I didn't see
    should be "nickname". A false friend cognate.

    T-Mobile stated clearly why they suspended him, Pevenage and Sevilla,
    and it's not because they allege he is doping. They asked for a written
    statement of each rider and Pevenage that they never had contact to
    Fuentes. It is now very very likely, that in Pevenage and Sevilla's case
    this was a lie - you omitted the passages where this is made quite clear
    in the article. Therefore they suspended them.
    As for Jan: If you combine the name issue with the fact that _his_
    mentor had contact with Fuentes, I'd say it's ok for the team to suspend
    him too.
    If a police officer, a public servant or manager was linked in a similar
    way to a crime he might have committed while doing his job, I would also
    expect him to be suspended.

    Btw.: I'm just listening to an official from T-Mobile who assured that
    they will not pull out of cycling sponsoring because that would mean
    surrendering to the "doping mafia" (his words). They will instead put
    their weight behind fighting doping from inside the system.

    You seem to forget the SMS sent by "Rudicio" on the day of the Giro
    ITT, see my other message about that

    Almost all the evidence they have thus far is circumstantial.

    http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?id=news/2006/jul06/jul02news2

    On Rudy Pevenage: On May 17, at 23.27, Fuentes received an SMS text message
    from a Belgian number with the following message: "Friend, when can we talk?
    Rudicio." On the next day, at 12.20, Fuentes receives a call from the same
    number. As he's busy, he asks the person to call back later. "This evening,"
    he responds. "Now, there's a time trial." [which was won by Jan Ullrich -
    ed.] The elements lead to the supposition that the identity of "Rudicio" is
    T-Mobile's DS Rudy Pevenage, who is also a close personal advisor of Jan
    Ullrich.

    Note: "The elements lead to the SUPPOSITION that that the identity of
    "Rudicio" is T-Mobile's DS Rudy Pevenage."

    It doesn't say "the number is registered to Rudy Pevenage" (which, while
    still circumstantial, would be harder evidence to refute).

    On the same day (May 18) as the mentioned time-trial in the Giro, there was
    also a time-trial in the Tour de l'Aude in which Janne Brok was a
    participant. Yes, I know she is a woman ... but is women's cycling any
    cleaner compared to men's?

    Taking time changes into account, there was also a time-trial in the Tour of
    Japan (May 19), in which the Belgian rider Jan Verstraeten was a
    participant.

    That's pretty typical. Most times people don't author clearly
    incriminating documents or engage in overtly and visible bad conduct,
    when trying to cheat.

    However, what you identify is an extract of a condensed report, which is
    again a summary of actual "evidence" in hand. Evidence is neutral, and
    it is up to the factfinder to make a decision on what it means. So far,
    all we have is a fourth generation condensation of what is really there.

    Worry not - this group will never really have a chance to examine the
    totality of proof, but that won't stop people from expressing unfounded
    opinions as though they were reasonable.

    I dunno... did Xavier Jan show up in the pics of athletes coming to
    Fuente's door after office hours? Isn't Fuentes a gynecologist? Does
    he administer HGH to make the small babies grow? And maybe the
    expectant mamas need their blood cleaned as well?

    Could someone post a link to the article you're discussing? I haven't
    seen it and it seems to have more detail than anything I have seen.

    Doubtful, but neither did Ullrich.
