When will they learn?

According to CyclingNews, Jan Ullrich did pay Dr Fuentes money. Since they’d managed to link his DNA to some of the blood in the Operacion Puerto affair too, it looks pretty much like they’ve got everything they need to prove his guilt.

It never ceases to amaze me how these guys will keep on lying. It’s time for big changes, and coming clean with the truth, as well as the drugs, is the only way to set a precendence young riders will want to emulate. David Miller got it right. He made a mistake, admitted it, and now takes a very public and strong stance on drugs in cycling. That’s the kind of role model the older members of the peloton should be displaying.

I’m thoroughly disappointed at Ullrich, I was always a fan.

“Prosecutors in Bonn, Germany, have reviewed Jan Ullrich’s bank records and announced Thursday that the records show that the cyclist transferred 25,000 Euros from his bank in Kreuzlingen, Switzerland, to an account of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes in early 2004″
