When you read the Spiegel article, it's important to keep in mind that
Bob Stapleton was hired under the claim he was going to implement some
kind of "state-of-the-art" anti-doping program at T-Mobile.
Georgio Hincrapie, recently hired by High Road in 2007, was
alleged to be a chronic doper by Lance Armstrong's personal agent at
Oakley, Stephanie McIlvain, in a surreptiously recorded phone call by
Greg LemonD (aka "The Tool"). This recording has been available for the
past 3 years, but apparently Bob Stapleton has either never heard it or
doesn't want to hear it. Either way, Staplehead is an ostrich with his
head in the sand.
The Spiegel article has a nice little section on page 2 that intimates
Hincapie's hiring might have been the straw that broke the camel's back
which resulted in Deutsche Telekom finally pulling the plug.
--------
from Spiegel:
In keeping with this philosophy, Stapleton had no qualms about signing
fellow American George Hincapie for the coming season. Hincapie, 34, was
Lance Armstrong's trusted lieutenant during his series of Tour
victories. In 2005, the tall American won the most difficult mountain
stage of the Tour, even though he had never excelled as a mountain
specialist before. For Telekom, Hincapie was just another image problem,
a time bomb because he probably knows a great deal about Armstrong's
miraculous trail of victories. But for Stapleton he was a solid rider
with a clean record who was willing to conform to the team's anti-doping
policies. Despite the company's attempts to convince him to change his
mind, Stapleton insisted on hiring Hincapie.
The rift between Stapleton and Telekom had become so wide that the
separation had to be painstakingly negotiated. On Nov. 6, the company's
board of directors decided to examine ways to get rid of Stapleton
immediately. The simplest approach was not an option.
--------
Also, Rolf Aldag, current manager of High Road, confessed to being a
chronic doper throughout his career as a rider. Yet Staplerhead keeps
Alldouche on in the role of team manager simply because he "confessed."
This is the equivalent of a police department hiring a pedophile to
run its Special Victims Unit just because he confessed.
The Germans must be some real deep throat cocksuckers for these very
public crybaby press conference confessions as some kind of vestigial
retroactive remorse for that little concentration camp thing they let
happen back in WWII. In reality, a confession means little, especially
if you don't give back any of the illegal proceeds you STOLE as a result
of your cheating, which none of these "confessors" ever do (reference:
any number of Matt "Kid Adrenaline" DeCanio rants).
This is why Jeanson's confession is hollow.
In the U.S. federal court system, confessing means nothing in sentencing
guidelines. However, restitution does. If you steal money from a bank,
a federal prosecutor doesn't give a donkey **** if you confessed to it
or not - he only cares if you pay it back. That's because a confession
without victim compensation is just another selfish act by the person
making it to clear their own conscience without caring about redressing
the victim(s) injuries/loss.
After confessing to using EPO (and never returning a single penny of
prize money or salary, of course), it was discovered Eric Zabel was in
negotiations with Staplerhead for a contract in 2008. Stapleton said he
would welcome not only Crybaby back but, get this, Sinkabitch as well!
Finally, the two doctors from the Freiberg Clinic who Staplerhead hired
to oversee this state-of-the-art anti-doping program - Drs. Lothar
Heinrich and Andreas Schmidt - as it turns out, were both Dr. Mengele's
in disguise. They were EPO and blood transfusion traffickers - kingpins
of the doping underworld in cycling who actually managed and
administrated the doping program at T-Mobile for years!
This is like hiring George Bush to be the Dean of your Foreign Affairs
Department at a university and then wondering why you notice three new
courses for the Fall Semester with the title: "Drop Bombs First, Ask
Questions Later 101."
Then, in retaliation for not wanting to give such a fraudulently managed
team $20 million/year, Scissorhands hires private detectives to
investigate Deutsche Telekom to dig up dirt on them so he can use that
information to blackmail them into a higher severance payout!
This guy just showed his hand. And all he had the entire time were JOKERS.
Thanks,
