He did not respond to T-mobile's internal investigation. T-mobile paid this guy $1.8M euros, they should expect him to act like a professional.
T-mobile believes he doped. They fired him. They must be VERY confident, because if he has proof he didn't dope, he could sue them. T-mobile is now looking into suing Ullrich for his salary this year.
He will likely be banned for three years, due to his very personal coach Rudy Pevenage on record buying TONS of drugs. You can be naive and believe it was only for his dog. No one will hire Ullrich at 35, he'll just be another chubby ex-doper no one cares about. He can open a bike shop/cafe with Basso.
Remember kids: this is the second time der Kaiser has been caught doping:

Jan will take his suspension, and the hush money provided to him, both from the Team.

I think in professional sports, its fame and fortune. Being part of sports history is a big thing, and getting paid in excess of one million a year for doing so is all the greater. Without sponsors there would be no race, no fame and fortune. Maybe this is what the professional athletes need to recognize, no matter the sport, baseball, etc.
Also, without consumers, there would be no sponsors.

Hate to break it to you, but almost ALL pro cyclists dope. Anyone who thinks otherwise is a fool.
