Das Boot for Der Kaiser

(pic from Eurosport)
Jan Ullrich was shown no love by T-Mobile management. After lying about his relationship with Dr. Fuentes and the cloud surrounding Operation Puerto, T-Mobile have given the boot to Der Kaiser. Jan Ullrich is now out of a job and he is PO’d about the way in which T-Mobile informed him of the news.
“I am very disappointed about the fact the decision was not communicated to me personally but by T-Mobile’s lawyers in a fax,” Ullrich was quoted as saying. “The dismissal by T-Mobile is not acceptable for me.”
“I think it’s a shame that I have given so many years of good service and for all that I have done for the team, that I be seen as just a fax number.”
Welcome to the corporate world Jan, sometimes unpleasent news is delivered unpleasently.
