Did anyone else find Ulrich's articles to be a bit confusing?

In the diary on his website he reprinted an article which intimates that he
could countersue both T-mobile for firing him illegally and the Operation Puerta
boys but Ulrich states maganimously that he "just wants to end things
peacefully" and ride again.

In the article on cycling heros, he acts as if he's with a team and all is just
fine and Operation Puerta never happened.

I have my own suspicions.... if Operation Puerta was a fake, what was behind it?
Because it cleared the stage for the American Floyd Landis to win, by
eliminating all the guys who could have beaten him. Kind of coincidental only I
don't really believe in coincidence. I think some money could have exchanged
hands. It sure won't be the first time. But if there were some skullduggery on
the part of the Discovery Team, it backfired when their great white hope,
Landis, was caught using testosterone.

Back to the article on Ulrich's website, he states he doesn't know which team he
will be riding with but he's confident of a positive outcome.

Very confusing situation all around...

If Basso rides for Discovery team, is he going to be another Lance Armstrong for
the Americans? And will the Americans be able to look to him as the "great
white hope" as they did Floyd Landis?

At last reading, Landis was still protesting that he did not do it (even though
he was just about caught with a smoking gun).

I guess time will tell... :)
