Another one CAS is very Busy.

Ah, well, I'm sure the ban will put a dent in his retirement.

 

I see they're annulling all his results from 2005 to 2007. Did he even have any results from then to be annulled?

[GrumpyOldGuy]

Hmm, busy indeed, selectively though me thinks.!

 

I dont see the ban worrying him much as he is not competing anyway, but annulling his achievements from 2005 - 007 is, to my mind just juvenile.

[Garfield2010]

Cool, ban every retired person in sport and see if they care??? I mean, AB traded in 2 race medals for 18 months off his ban......

 

If you want to hurt a rider then ban him for 2 years when in competition as this will hurt him financially.

[fandacious]

umm what exactly was the offence?

[Groggery]

He did do the Argus in 2007. And I beat him.

I think he was third in the tour 005, I think he also has a tour de Suisse win in there somewhere, but 2006-007 was pretty barren.

this Panel came to the conclusion that Jan Ullrich engaged at least in blood doping in violation of Article 15.2 of the UCI Anti-Doping rules,” the court said.

came to the conclusion? wow - sounds like there was some rock solid evidence there....

Yeah, but he punctured and spent about 2 hours handing drinks at the water point, ..........maybe you got a drink from him.!

Again, Lance better look out. You can get banned based on association and someone else's word.

Reminds me of the zoo keeper locking the cage after the [insert animal of your choice] has escaped.

Yeah, blood doping, in my opinion the only dope in this case is worrying what he did 7 years ago - like a bunch of whimpering school girls.

some very strange timing on these events... retribution?
