From the article:
------------------------------------------------------------------
Jan Ullrich has surrendered any hope of racing on the UCI ProTour in 2007,
but still plans to ride at least one more season.
"I have understood that there will not be a place for me on a ProTour team,"
Ullrich told French daily L'Equipe in an interview published on Monday.
"But I want to ride at least one more season."
The German was suspended from racing and then eventually sacked from his
T-Mobile squad after being linked by Spanish officials to the doctor at the
centre of the Operation Puerto doping scandal on the eve of the Tour de
France.
Ullrich revealed that the Spanish probe, which has since blocked any
sporting bodies from using evidence from the case in disciplinary hearings,
spoiled his plans to possibly retire after the 2006 Tour.

Wow that sucks...and what about that :""So, I want to have another
chance, and even with a Continental Pro team that would be able to
allow me to ride a Grand Tour, like the Giro for example," the 1997
Tour de France victor added."
TDF is off too then ? Doesn't sound right that Basso could be allowed
to race and not Ulle...

Hey, why not call Mr Bruyneel and see if he'll take a super-domestique? I
mean as long as Disco is thumbing their nose at the establishment with
Basso.
That would be an awesome team, and JU would probably sign for cheap.
(not sure if I'm kidding or not...)
