ARD link Kittel to German blood doping investigation

[MarkvW]

Gollum Seppelt in his element and back in Germany.
I guess Floyd threw him out of the trailer park.

Really interesting the fact that Mrs. Pechstein's phone was wired and that some policeman really had the patience to listen to a womens phone conversation.
Then they joined the dots to Erfurt.

Pech gehabt.
Anyway, it always makes me sick when I hear Gollum's voice again.
That he waylayed Ullrich in such a disgusting way will never be forgiven.
dude is on revenge trip and his intentions and style are questionable, even when his intentions might look good.

Pechstein just won a big legal battle, didn't she? Wondering if these revelations will impact that?

yes, indeed she did.

predictions are she might get 4.4 million euros in damages from the ISU (International Skate Union)

more interestingly: her legal victory casts doubts on the legitimacy of CAS.
The Munich court decided the earlier CAS verdict against Pechstein had been a

„Verstoß gegen zwingendes Kartellrecht“

From what I can tell, this might have direct consequences for the Kreuziger case.

I hate Kittel. He's a lying ***.
But then again I understand why he does it. It's probably smart in order to bring cycling back up in Germany, and to improve his own image in the eyes of the average cycling fan.

Marcel Kittel's long-time agent, Jörg Werner, has blasted rumours about the German sprinter's performance problems. At the same time, he told Cyclingnews that “we are totally at a loss as to why he is not at his usual level.”
...
Werner runs the TeamSpirit agency in Erfurt, Germany. The agency represents numerous German cyclists, including Kittel, Tony Martin, Maximilian Schachmann, and Kristina Vogel.

I thought I recognized Erfurt from somewhere.

Kittel is from ~20km away from Erfurt.

Werner is the former Team Manager of the Erfurt based team Thüringer Energie. Kittel, Schachmann, Tony Martin and Degenkolb raced for this team.

Obviously this doesn't mean that the team was dealing with the doctor involved in the scandal.
It's just a coincidence if the doctor's mother was Werner's family doctor

Far enough for Kittel to get dropped on current form....

For the fourth year, Paris-Roubaix will be entirely broadcasted on TV from kilometre 0 until the iconic finish in the Vélodrome, representing more than six hours of programs for the 31 right holders. Among them, the ARD will offer German supporters the opportunity to see the race on public television for the first time since 2008.

So just about the time for a doping scandal so cycling will be pulled from German TV again ... umm ... what was that thing in Erfurt again?
