Hondo's last hope

By Susan Westemeyer

Team Gerolsteiner and its star sprinter Danilo Hondo are hoping against hope for good news in Madrid today. Hondo and expert attorney Michael Lehner are in the Spanish capital for the opening of the B sample. Team manager Hans-Micheal Holczer hasn't entirely given up hope: "It isn't over until it's over. There were some questions surrounding the positive tests. That's why we've engaged the expert attorney Lehner, from Heidelberg, even when I'm a realist and not expecting negative results in Madrid Tuesday."
