Has Jan talked at all about at what age he began doping?Bratam said:Ullrichs domination through his youth years.
Yep.hrotha said:Why would it have changed? None of this was about Ullrich. We already knew Armstrong was a sociopath and Ullrich a nice guy.
Nice guys don't dope ? Plus he came though the East German dope factories. Ullrich's silence says it all. Telekom was riddled with dopers. What do personalities have to do with cheating ? Armstrong is loathed more because he never comes across as very likeable but he didn't put a gun to the head of any other dopers. They had choices. They put a place on the Tour team above anything else and they have to live with it.hrotha said:Why would it have changed? None of this was about Ullrich.

Agree with this. Even Pevenage was blaming Lance and Johan last year for pushing Ullrich to dope.Vino attacks everyone said:Much improved, he has not been out in the media kicking the american now when he is down, like Virenque and so on.
Good on you Ulle!
Many cheaters are good guys. That's what happens when doping is ubiquitous in a certain sport.Bratam said:Unchanged. Jan Ullrich by all accounts is a very decent human being. Most cycling gurus would agree that given a dope free playing field, Ullrich would have likely dominated the Armstrong TDF era. This is based on pure natural ability and Ullrichs domination through his youth years.
Ullrich's response to the USP scandal"If you look back at what happened and still can't put two and two together, then you are beyond my help" - Jan Ullrich
this is the problem.thehog said:even expect it of me."
Did he ever admit anything?thehog said:Ullrich tells Focus magazine, "I will surely not go the way of Armstrong and speak before an audience of millions, even if some people keep pushing me to do it and perhaps even expect it of me."
on behalf of cycling Ullrich is a coward, but he is not alone.Mrs John Murphy said:Only ever indirectly with the 2+ 2 quote.
I do wish that he would break omerta. If nothing else it would hopefully remove the truly odious Kloden, Rogers, Holm, Zabel, Aldag, Riis etc from the peloton if he were speak out.
I wish he'd do the right thing for once.
