Prosecutors Seem To Be Set To Offer Deal To Jan Ullrich
BERLIN, March 9, 2008 (AFP) - German prosecutors are reported to be
prepared to drop doping charges against Jan Ullrich if the fallen cycling star
cooperates with their inquiry and pays a one million euro fine.
The report, which appears in Monday’s edition of Focus magazine, suggests
the tribunal in Bonn handling Ullrich’s case is set to present this deal to
the former T-Mobile rider’s lawyers.
The German has always denied ever using performance-enhancing substances,
but prosecutors in Bonn have proof Ullrich had packets of his blood stored in
the office of Eufemiano Fuentes, the Spanish doctor whose blood doping network
network was exposed in 2006.
Ullrich was sacked by T-Mobile in July 2006 after he was banned from
competing in that year’s Tour de France.
He retired from the sport early last year.
