Ullrich earring-less

Is Jan Ullrich doing everything possible to lose weight? Last week before the start of the Giro he sacrificed his long hair. Now it seems he is also doing without his trademark silver earring. It turns out that his little daughter Sarah took it off him one day while they were playing and he just never got around to putting it back on. Now, Ullrich said, he's gotten used to not wearing it any more.
