He's in the clear. According to BDR (Germany's Bikin Federation), a rider cannot be suspended for admitting to doping that occurred more than 5 years ago (for WADA it's 8 years ago), and his admission was for sometime in the mid-90's making it over 10 years ago. The BDR is trying to get riders to come out without fear of suspension. According to some other German newssites, he'll be talking with his Milram team in the coming days about what comes next. It didn't sound in anyway like it was a done deal that he'd be ousted by Milram. Their team stance is obviously no doping, but this was a decade ago and apparently on one occasion - which was actually confirmed by D'Hondt... The BDR is actually trying to decide whether or not to let Zabel race the Stuttgart Worlds this year - it's definitely still a very real possibility according to Scharping...who happens to be a close friend of Zabel's.
