Jörg Jaksche will cooperate as a crown witness with the sports court and the state prosecution in their doping investigations. His attorney , Michael lehner confirmed to German newspaper FAZ that Jaksche will not only speak about "his own offences, but also extensivley cooperate to clarify the scene and the backers," Lehner said on Friday.

According to German daily newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung (SZ), Michael Lehner advised Jaksche to "vanish from the scene, with his bike but without telephone." Lehner told SZ that the 30 year old Jaksche is affraid because his doping confession, which will be published in next mondays German weekly 'Der Spiegel', is "not only autobiographical."  The world of cycling doesn't like this kind of uncovering stories. Lehner said: "Who knows, maybe they will throw something between his spokes, or he might get a few drops of testosterone in his bidon?!." Its only because of that, that his client "takes a great risk - and I find that respectable."

These are things that should be considered before critics will start complaining that Jaksche denied his involvement in the 'Operacion Puerto" for a long time. Jaksche is a "kid of his society," the world of cycling. "And there somebody has to take a decision like he did to begin with."

And indeed it looks like Jaksche will not act like Ivan Basso who only confessed his links with Spanish doctor Fuentes under the pressure of growing evidence against him, but than Basso refused to cooperate with the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) after he received threads. Jaksche wants to pull this through and it could be the breakthrough in the Puerto investigation. Jaksche could benefit from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) crown witness arrangement. "I will apply for it and plea for a reduction of his ban to one year," Lehner said. Normally Jaksche would get a two year ban.

Lehner is in contact with WADA for some time now. The Austrian Cycling Federation (Jaksche has an Austrian license as he lives in Kitzbühl, Austria)  was informed by Lehner on Friday. The attorney thinks that WADA will accept the crown witness arangement  for Jaksche: "There is a difference between him and Zabel and Aldag - Jaksche will be much more specific and name other people, especially to the sports court and the state prosecution." Lehner added: "His confession is more comprehensive, the expectations will be fulfilled."

In an interview with Cyclingheroes Jaksche seemed to be annoyed about the hypocrisy in pro-cycling. After Jaksche was banned from sundays German national championships by the German Cycling Federation (BDR), Jaksche called the president of the BDR, Rudolf Scharping and demanded a written statement but did not get one.  Jaksche told German daily newspaper FAZ, that Scharping, who hat to step down as German minister of defence after an affair, has "no moral authority." Jaksche added "God save hypocrisy." His remarks about Scharping were referring to the doping allegations against BDR vice preseident Udo Sprenger earlier this week. Sprenger was accused of organizing systematic doping in the nineties, at that time Sprenger was team manager of the Nürnberg team. "Spenger is still running around at the German championships," Jaksche said.

Jaksche rode for Polti (Italy) where Gianluigi Stanga was team manager. Nowadays Stanga is team manager of Milram. After that Jaksche rode for ONCE (Spain, Manolo Saiz) and later he started for CSC (Bjarne Riis) but after only one year with CSC Jaksche returned to Manolo Saiz and his new Liberty Seguros team. At the moment Jaksche has a contract with the Tinkoff team where Omar Piscina is his team manager. The team is owned by Oleg Tinkoff. According to FAZ Jaksche will primarily speak about team managers and team doctors.
