Jan Is Fading From The Scene

Have we heard the last of Good Old Jan?
From the VeloNews blog:
German media reports that Jan Ullrich will not be taking place in the usual post-Tour criteriums, races which generally don't offer much prestige, but usually offer boatloads of cash.

Ullrich's agent Walter Strohband said that Ullrich has contracts to ride in several events, but given the current environment, he would be the focus of attention for all of the wrong reasons.

"Jan said he would prefer to pull out of the races and to let the organizers know now, so that they can work to attract other big-name cyclists for their events."
