Sinkewitz confesses - "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Will he turn states...?
Looks like the charter is working... he may open the lid on doping at the new T-Mobile so he can get out of paying his fine ?
_____________ German rider Patrik Sinkewitz of T-Mobile has declined to get his B-sample analysed. His A-sample was tested positive for testosterone. The B-sample was supposed to be opened today, but Patrik Sinkewitz, after initially requesting the B-sample, has now declined to ask its opening. This effectively makes him testing positive in the June 8th incident. AFP reports that Michael Lehner, the lawyer for Sinkewitz, has sent in a fax stating that his client waived the rights to get a counter analysis done. The German rider will now likely be suspended for two years, although there is some speculation that he will become a key witness, like Jörg Jaksche. Depending on how much he tells this could mean a reduced sentence under UCI rules. Lehner has publicly stated that he always tells his clients to come out in the open if they have to say something. It could be interesting to see if Sinkewitz will detail more about any other doping activity going on at T-Mobile, or if he was indeed an isolated case. The contract with T-Mobile had been ended immediately, as Christian Frommert, the director of sponsoring communication at Deutsche Telekom AG, already indicated. "The fact that [Patrik] Sinkewitz declined his B-sample to be analysed means he doesn't contest the finding of the A-sample result and we have a case of doping." Rolf Aldag, the general manager of the team, said Tuesday morning that "we made this decision [to cancel the contract] following the announcement [of not requesting a B-sample analysis]." Aldag, who admitted to doping in his career himself, continued that he hoped there would be "collaboration between Patrik, the German federation and T-Mobile. Patrik needs to sit with us on the table and explain himself so that nothing stays uncovered." The 26 year-old was the hope of presenting the new German generation of younger riders in the fight against doping. He has signed the UCI agreement before the Tour and faces to pay one year of salary towards the anti-doping fight. |

Background: Matt DeCanio was one of the top racers on the US U23 team. I believe his age was 20 or 21 when if finished second to Rogers at the G.P. de Beauce in Canada, which was the highest rated UCI stage race in North America at the time. Quote:

Sinke issued a statement today in which confessed using the above-mentioned product. On top of it all and very revealingly he declared he had used it "instinctively".  |

Re: Sinkewitz confesses - "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. Will he turn states...?
From EuroSport:
"I had been using a product called Testogel, which is supplied by the company Jenapharm, to balance testosterone deficits. The gel is applied on the skin and absorbed into the body. It helps the body to recover after hard training." "Without thinking, in a moment of huge stupidity, I applied some to my upper arm in our training camp in France in the evening before a dope test. I did this instinctively and without thinking of the possible results." Is he saying that treating "testosterone deficits" is acceptable and common among cyclist. I am puzzled at his comment (in bold). He did it instinctively?

And it sounds a little like the saddle cream story. Could be just a watered down lie to confuse the motive and means.

He did tell a lot to the German Federal Police (BKA), the state prosecutiuon and the German Cycling Federation (BDR). One of the things he told was that team doping at TM continued after Ullrich was sent home before the start of the 2006 Tour. The riders became blood transfusions from the team doctors during that Tour and were at the university of Freiburg in the month before the 2006 Tour for the same reason.... |

Why was Ullrich using outside doctors that required him to travel to Madrid instead of the team doctors?
