Ullrich should return his yellow jersey, says LeMond
Jan Ullrich, winner of the 1997 Tour de France, “should think about giving back his yellow jersey,” Greg LeMond told the German BILD tabloid newspaper.
“For his entire life he will have to come to terms with what happened in his career,” LeMond said. “I said it this way about Floyd Landis and Tyler Hamilton: You have to live your whole life with a lie. That is damned hard.”

The American, who won the Tour three times, said there was a difference between Lance Armstrong and Ullrich. “Lance was the boss. The team belonged to him. He encouraged the doping. He was not judged simply because of doping, but also because he organized illegal acts.”
In contrast, “Ullrich was 21 years old when he came into an already-existing system. He didn’t have any idea what was happening to him.”
