Where's Ivan Basso and Jan Ullrich? I have not seen in the Tour de France Classification and wondered what happened with them
Both are in the non-participant. The Tour is not allowing them to compete because of recent deveoplments the Operation Puerto case. Ullrich, has retired from cycling, but still faces charges. Basso was to launch the Discovery team after recent findings have found that he could Dopp. Dopp said then and now is serving a 2 year suspension. Barjne also Riis, who recently admitted the doping when he won his tour, he earned CSC team management.
