Oodles of strudels for Ullrich as Coast coughs up €340k

Seven-time Tour de France loser Jan Ullrich has today won a court battle to secure €340,000 in salary owed to him since his 2003 sojourn with the ill-fated Team Coast.
Team Coast manager Günther Dahms had hoped he could avoid paying Ullrich by claiming that he had used drugs while employed by the team. The only flaw to Dahms' plan was that he didn't actually have any evidence of Ullrich's alleged drug use during this period. Ullrich flatly denied Dahms' claims, saying:
"I did not use any forbidden doping materials or methods banned under regulations during that period [January - March 2003]."

Absolutely no idea. It looks old. The one of Kohl I found with it is even better. It’ll have to hold til a decent reason to use it come along.

Patience Albertina. Trust me, when you do see it, you’ll be glad I spared you so long. Remember, this is Kohl we’re talking about here, probably the most un-Benna-like rider in the pro peloton.

That pic made me LOL. I have no illusions about Jan, but I just can’t help but like the guy.

Yeah i'm liking him more and more too
I especially like that he has taken the high road every time he has been asked about the Lance comeback, and the rumors about his return.

Who wouldn’t be happy? €340k plus interest and costs and the opportunity to twist today in the future by saying a court decalred him innocent of taking drugs (almost mirrioring LA’s useof his SCA arbitration decision).

Ullrich says he doesn't want any money from Dahm
and if he does get any money from him he will donate it to a children’s charity, story is in CN.

Now that is pure class.
Straight up OG style from back when this was a race amongst gentlemen for the pure sake of competition.
I have always thought Ullrich has been one of the more classy guys about stuff like this.
I’m glad he hasn’t changed his style.

He looked a bit more nervous going in. And the fashion police might want to question that dangly bit on his jacket. Is that an ejector seat pull-chord, in case the case went against him?

Dangly bit is wrong. Such clothing adornments should totally be outlawed.
At least he’s got rid of the horrid big earring.

Ha! Now Dahms is going to sue Ullrich for libel or slander or whatever, after Ullrich’s comments about him.
