Sinkewitz fired after confession

Patrik Sinkewitz has been dismissed by the T-Mobile team after withdrawing a request to have his B-sample tested.
The German cyclist was suspended after it emerged during the Tour de France that he tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone on 8 June.
Sinkewitz revealed on Tuesday that he had used a testosterone gel in training and said he accepted the test result.
"It was a big mistake and irresponsible toward my team, colleagues, the sponsor and the whole of cycling," he admitted.
Sinkewitz, 26, said he had used the gel on his upper arm "without thinking, or simply in great stupidity, on the evening before the doping test".
