Ullrich Having "Intestinal" Problem

David Ryan said:

According to what PL has heard.

Hanging at the back of the pel-O-ton on the false flat before the feed zone, accompanied by 6
teammates.

Did he overdo it in the TT?

Could he be pulling an "Armstrong"? If not, this could be a **really** bad day, which Ullrich has
had before, but not Armstrong.

This is being repeated on race radio. The road is gradually steepening. I guess we'll known in a few
minutes if Ullrich is doomed.

He was "answering the call of nature."

Ullrich's "intestinal problem" in stage 13 turned out to be nothing more than just having a [censored] on
the bike. Stephen Swart commentating on NZ TV on stage 14 gave all the details, including
instructions about how to use your racing cap to handle this problem.

Moral: Don't grab souvenirs from TdF mountain stages, especially any caps discarded by riders...
