Doping activities of former cycling champion: Champion denied allegations


German police have uncovered the full extent of the Jan Ullrich's doping activities. The former professional racer, who won the Tour de France
in 1997, made 24 trips to Madrid to use the services of the doping doctor
Eufemiano Fuentes.
Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) has found out that former cycling champion Jan Ullrich made 24 trips to Madrid to use the doping services of Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.
The prosecutor's files state: "In conclusion it can be stated that the accused, Ullrich, used the doping system of the Spanish doctor Fuentes to prepare himself for his competitions with performance-enhancing substances and methods in breach of contract."
Whenever Ullrich made public statements about the doping allegations he portrayed himself as the victim of a conspiracy. When he announced his retirement from professional cycling in February 2007 in Hamburg's Intercontinental Hotel, he accused police and journalists of being sloppy in their investigations against him.
