Cycling – Doping: Next Round in the Case of Jan Ullrich

The Cycling-UCI World Federation has lodged an appeal against the termination of the doping case against Jan Ullrich. When the case is reopened, is not fixed yet.


Jan Ullrich’s doping case before the International Court of Sport CAS in the extension. 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. When the CAS deals with the case is still unclear. Anti-Doping Switzerland has joined the UCI’s decision.

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”
This “gap in the system” and wanted to UCI anti-doping Switzerland can not apply and cried together at the top sports court. When there comes to trial, is still unclear. “For this I will say nothing. This is a matter for the lawyers,” said Ullrich’s manager Wolfgang straw Volume on SID request.

This goes on for justice Ullrich Marathon. If convicted, he faces a lifetime ban because it was closed in 2002 because of a positive doping test on amphetamines is already six months and would therefore apply as a repeat offender. For example, so that he could return even as Sports Director or team leader in cycling.

The CAS would probably say no but now whether Ullrich doped or not. Rather is expected to fall to decide whether Swiss Olympic must take up the case again. Otherwise, Ullrich would be deprived of the possibility of a page objection. Ullrich’s involvement in the background is the Spanish doping scandal surrounding doctor Eufemiano Fuentes. The BKA had uncovered details on pages 2219 to connect Ullrich to Fuentes seems seamlessly. The blood was seized at Fuentes assigned by DNA matching Ullrich, were identified alleged cash payments in the amount of 80,000 euros to the Spanish doctor and collected additional incriminating evidence.

The sports court revoked
Swiss Olympic, but found himself unable to take action against Ullrich. Sanction proceedings would have to be opened in the wake of accusations from Spain, it was said at that time. 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.

The 37-year-old graduated in his words, being primarily training on the bike and on rollers. The German speed skating community had indicated on Monday that Pechstein can no longer participate in activities of the association. This is based on the code of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Without ice training reduced the chances of an Olympic participation in 2010 in Vancouver, but is already at a minimum.

Pechstein had denied doping again on Monday and will shortly hold a press conference.
