Seriously, What the F????
Seriously, what the F is going with cycling and doping? The T-Mobile team announced that Jan Ullrich, my main man, was dismissied amid allegations of doping (story). While I commend the sport for having the most stringent controls against doping, unlike baseball for example, but it is now to the point where someone has to simply allege that an athlete is on something to send the press crazy and reputations to be destroyed. Just look how hard Lance Armstrong has fought against his accusers in the French media. Though Herr Ullrich has denied the claims and there is no evidence of doping, but only a connection to an infamous Spanish doctor who has been known to provide others with artificial enhancers, why else would he so quitely accept dismissal from the tour and now his team?But seriously, what the F???? I can ‘understand’ why an up and coming aspiring guy with nothing to lose can take the risk of taking hormones or some red-cell rich blood. But why, if true, would my main man Jan Ullrich do so? What a shame that this beast of a rider is going to have has career potentially ruined by this….I just don’t understand…why? why? I can only hope that he will somehow be vindicated and totally cleared of any dubious acts.
Well it looks like the American Floyd Landis is going to win this year’s tour, but just imagine if Jan Ullrich, Ivan Basso, and Francisco Mancebo had not been accused of doping and thus raced…it would’ve been totally awesome and Ullrich surely would’ve been a favorite and I could wear my T-Mobile jersey with pride….but now I am just asking…”What the F?”
