Why is Ullrich still on the hook?

I need some coffee! I was thinking of the Italian pronunciation of
terrible (il terrible Il Terrible?) when I posted and I didn't even
think of Basso's first name. How sad is that?

Pretty sad. I mean, you were outwitted by the LIVEDRUNK guy! I barely
speak even one language.

What was his old nickname? Birillo?

Well I think they were both on the "May Festival" fax Fuentes sent to
an Italian accomplice.

They also have an SMS sent from Pevenage's phone.

Either way that's pretty light in both cases, Ulle should be let off
the hook too or Basso back on it.

AH! The "Pevenage was secretly managing Basso too" theory.

Ullrich's lawyer is now saying that he will provide DNA if it is
required
(http://www.cyclingnews.com/news.php?...ov06/nov16news ).Why
has Ullrich been waiting if he knows that the DNA will clear his name.

Maybe because Ullrich is not Swiss? Basso is probably very popular in
Italy.

BTW Basso's old term is extremely ****ed at Discovery.

You mean Riis ? Haven't seen that, he fired him right ?

Is Discovery more tolerant of dopers than are other teams? That seems
to be the opinion of some other teams.

Here's the story:

And google news search of "Basso Discovery" turns up more on this.

There is a rift among teams on doping policy. I think this is a
developing story.

CSC seems to think they should have been able to resign Basso, but
Basso had not cooperated with the investigation so he was still too
tainted for CSC when Disco signed him.
I believe that's the story.

I noticed in google news that some teams are now requiring DNA rights
in their contracts.
That eliminates this Basso and Ullrich thing where they are not
cooperating in providing DNA for the Spanish. Under the new contracts,
the team can provide the DNA, I think.
