From the article:
------------------------------------------------------------------
FORMER Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich is to make a statement
regarding his future on Monday, sparking rumours he may be about to
quit cycling.
Germany's 1997 champion was barred from last year's race after being
implicated in a doping scandal just before the start.
He has not been found guilty of any infringements but was fired by his
T-Mobile team and has since failed to find a new team.
The 33-year-old will hold a press conference on Monday, at a Hamburg
hotel, claiming he will announce "something delightful regarding his
career" while also stating that he will not answer any questions.

Isn't this sort of like having a press conference to announce you are
divorcing your wife, when she has already served you the papers and
flown to Mexico?

Yeah... if you're a high profile public figure and your wifes lawyer
states publicly that you're a child abuser then demands and gets full
custody of the kids and all your wages without due process. Then it
turns out you might not have been an abuser but it's too late to get
back your kid or wages.

I like a good analogy as much as the next guy. Drop me a line when you
come up with one.
