More bad news for Ullrich Apparently, Jan Ullrich had been working with the Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes for longer than assumed so far. In its Friday edition the German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung published documents from the investigation of the Spanish authorities, showing that Ullrich used doping products leading up to and during the 2005 Tour de France.
The Sueddeutsche Zeitung secured a so called road book from the office of Fuentes in which the dosage and duration of medication for Ullrich is documented in detail. The road book shows that Ullrich took a mix of hormones, insuline, cortisone, testosterone, as well as a unit of his own prepared blood during the first week of the 2005 Tour de France.
Looks like it will be a good day for Discovery!
Le Mevel has been dropped from the lead group. Now 15 seconds back. Popo has attacked twice, Friere once. At the moment Ballan seems to be content with just reeling them back in. 5Km to go.
Commish, I think they 'have the negatives' on everyone, lotsa doping charts like that, and their racing/training schedules. If they offered amnesty to a few riders the entire house of cards would fall, IMHO.
That's too bad for the sport. Makes Lance's victory last year all the sweeter.
