The Cycling-UCI World Federation has appealed to the CAS appeal against the termination of the proceedings in Switzerland. The UCI spokesman Enrico Carpani confirmed the SID.

The disciplinary chamber for doping by the Swiss Olympic Committee (Swiss Olympic) had dropped its case against Ullrich in February this year, and surprisingly, the decision as the reason that after Ullrich’s Association 2006, no exit “disciplinary authority” have more.

“This is a matter for the lawyers”

That was done too late, it had not previously given only internal preliminary investigations. Thus Ullrich had been successfully removed by the license returned in October 2006 the Swiss sports courts. This gap in the system was closed with the Swiss now, but has no influence on the case.
