LOL. Sorry Lance, but I don't think Jan considers you as his friend at all.

All? None are more or less guilty?slowfoot said:He doped as much as LA. They all did. None are more or less guilty than the others. Only some admit to it and have paid the price. BFD. Move on .....

I am trying to find out but my sources don't know either.Originally Posted by limerickman .
Who knows.
Perhaps he just wanted to declare it once and for all and he decided that now was as good a time as any?
His timing is interesting for sure.
Has anyone called the German magazine, Focus, on this? Wny hasn't Ullrich issued a statement saying as much?jhuskey said:Jan has been in Colorado. I just found out that bits and peices of information that were in this artcle were used to make it appear that he confessed this week. The conversation, not an interview, occured a year ago not this week so it is old news. Isn't in convenient that this was released a week before the TDF starts. Professional athletes may not be honest about everything but can't compete with the spinning media when it comes to fabrication of events .
Not sure, and I was expecting to have that reaction from some but they can believe what they will. Focus may be relying on Jan's history of silence to slide by on this but he is pretty ****** from what I hear.Originally Posted by bauerfan .
I was really wondering what was going on with this "confession". Thanks for the clarification. Any eventual retraction will of course get much less publicity. Unfortunately, much of what Jan is said to have said is already in the public domain re Fuentes etc. It may make any action against Focus difficult. I also found it somewhat humorous to see the response to your post at the Cyclingnews forum responded to by Whiteyboytrash (aka The Hog). Will be curious to see how many recognize your presence.
Yes. We've seen what happens when such rider doesn't provide useful information.jhuskey said:It would be best if he imparts information on his term and in his time rather than being forced on someone else's terms. Â
Thanks for that update, JH. I feel guilty for having created this thread because the news report about the German article is incorrect.Originally Posted by jhuskey .
