Sinkewitz Saves Millions
Despite bad science, French lab tech incompetence, and conspiracies against foreign riders, Patrick Sinkewitz has apparently said "ya got me":
Former T-Mobile rider Patrik Sinkewitz, who was among riders in this year's Tour de France to test positive for drugs, has decided not to have a second urine sample analyzed, the German Cycling Federation said on Tuesday."Patrik Sinkewitz's lawyer, Michael Lehner, has informed us by fax that his client is foregoing the opening of the B sample," the Federation (BDR) said. "Mr Lehner said that a public announcement would be made today."

The German rider will now likely be suspended for two years, although there is some speculation that he will become a key witness, like Jörg Jaksche. Depending on how much he tells this could mean a reduced sentence under UCI rules.source: CN

His full statement
So we are cynical and we have heard dishonest half-confessions before. This might be something similar but I still think it's refreshing that he chooses this path in stead of denial.

Glad to see him...
But it still strikes me as funny...he really used testosterone cream on the eve of a test? What's the point of being part of a professional team if one isn't going to ask one's soigneurs about how to dope intelligently?
