It seems like Ullrich is finally going to admit to having doped. He's writing a book at the moment, and due to his recents comments it seems quite likely that he's going to 'tell it all' (or, 'all' being whatever that doesn't hurt other people, I guess).
E.g. he was asked: "Did you ever use doping?" to which he replied: "That question is difficult to answer. Stuff like that will be answered in my book"
He said also to a question "That after Armstrongs career 6 positive doping tests (6?? I didn´t know that I thought just 1 test) of 1999 were public but Ullrich still says that it is good for cycling that Armstrong comes back"
"...... (he said many people are talking about cycling so thats good) He has to expect questions about that but who still can´t sum-up 1 and 1 what happened there in cycling, I can´t help these people"
Ullrich never said that he doped but also he hasn´t said that he cheated on someone so I think he said that he doped but not "I doped" but "I haven´t cheated on someone"

Dr Neil Robinson of the Lausanne lab says that the results of the biological passport are already clear to him and his co-workers at the lab.
Apparently, the blood profile of the average rider has changed from "extremely suspicious" last year to "a little less abnormal" this year.
He adds that it's mostly just cycling, and that in most sports, the blood values of athletes are "the same as cycling had ten years ago"

I thought he was caught for drug dealing. Unless that drug is doping stuff and not a narcotic. I've been trying to read La Gazzetta, but the webpage doesn't open. Someone has any news?

It includes both kinds of stuff. He's the only pro rider among the 12 people arrested.
Apparently they went right to the Padova velodrome to pick him up, handcuffs and all...
