German cyclist Patrik Sinkewitz fired by T-Mobile
German racing cyclist Patrik Sinkewitz has been fired by the T-Mobile team after he withdrew a request to have his B-sample tested.
Patrik Sinkewitz, 26, was banned after he tested positive for elevated levels of the hormone testosterone on 8 June.
Patrik Sinkewitz admitted on Tuesday that he had used a gel containing testosterone whilst training and said he accepted the positive result.
Patrik Sinkewitz said regretfully: "It was a big mistake and irresponsible toward my team, colleagues, the sponsor and the whole of cycling,"
And Patrik Sinkewitz said he had used the testosterone gel on his upper arm "without thinking, or simply in great stupidity, on the evening before the doping test".
After the test result, T-Mobile spokesman Christian Frommert had explained: "For the team, this means that it is a positive doping case - that means he will be fired."
Patrik Sinkewitz added: "I could have achieved my performance without (drugs)."
