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.

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.
