This Story Makes Me Sad :(

BTW, News Bot is a jealous little bitch according to Parodybot.  News Bot  started off as a Peloton  stationary bike and Jan abused him on a climbing stage and as a result, News Bot got out of cycling completely and went into News reporting, but he has had it in for Jan ever since then.

I was a Jan fan and this makes me sad too.  I always felt he was judged more harshly than a lot of people who did the same thing.  The recent arrest related to the party was bad enough, but clearly was no wake up call.

Jan Ullrich will be forever stuck in my mind as the pro cyclist and TDF winner who ballooned up like a mere mortal.  If you can find some images of him at early season races the year after he won the tour (1998 maybe) he wasn't just a few lbs over race weight he got fat!  Like regular fat guy fat and looked ridiculous in the peleton.

He ended up shedding the lbs mid season but I never saw a pro balloon up like that.

True, sadly true, Chris. What a talent, such a shame, but it’s not everyone who has the discipline to go with their talent.

...you try staying slender on a steady diet of sauerbraten and potato salad without the additional advantages of PED's some time. Let me know how it goes.
