Confessions, confessions

The T-Mobile team was implicated in systematic doping in the 90's (when they were Telekom). A number of riders have come forward and confessed. There are some surprises:

A tearful Erik Zabel appeared at the T-Mobile press conference Thursday along with former teammate Rolf Aldag to confess to EPO usage while riding for the Team Telekom in the 1990s. Current T-Mobile Team Manager Bob Stapleton praised the two for coming forward, saying that Aldag would continue to work for the team, and promised "further significant changes in our program this year and next year."

Zabel! Udo Bolts has also confessed. So most of the team supporting Jan Ullrich has now confessed to doping in the 90's. Um, Jan? It's time.
