Jorg Jaksche Looking For Team When Doping Ban Expires
BERLIN, April 23, 2008 (AFP) - German rider Jorg Jaksche, whose one-year
doping suspension finishes on June 30, said he would give himself till July to
find a new team, he told Eurosport Germany on Wednesday.
The 31-year-old, who has previously ridden for Telekom (1998-2000), Once
(2001-03), CSC (2004) and Liberty Seguros (2005-06), owned up on his own
initiative to have been involved in the blood-doping network of Spanish doctor
Eufemiano Fuentes though he has never failed a test.
Jaksche said: “If I have not found anything by July, I will have to be
honest with myself. I can’t and have no desire to wait for ever.
“The UCI and race organisers have said they are not against my return but
nobody wants someone who has spit in the soup.”
However the 2004 Paris-Nice winner added: “None of the riders I have met
have been hostile to me and my relationships with them have been completely
normal.”
