From the CN Notes, Milram is not pulling the plug on Ete Zabel this season in response to his admission of a brief doping escapade in 1996. Rather, the team will carry on as is and see where things stand at the end of the year regarding Zabel's contract with the team for 2008. Not that this storm will blow over, but perhaps they're hoping Zabel's association with doping will be lost in the shuffle.
