Cyclist Jan Ullrich panned over admission to doping
German faces further scrutiny after admitting what we already knew - that he is a drug cheat
Germany's only Tour de France winner, Jan Ullrich, faces further investigation after finally admitting he doped with the help of Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.
Ullrich, 39, who won the 1997 Tour, said he "had access to treatment from Fuentes" but insisted he used no other substance than his own blood.
In April, a Spanish court jailed Fuentes for a year for performing blood transfusions on top cyclists.
"At that time, nearly everyone was using doping substances and I used nothing that the others were not using," Ullrich said.
He now wants to put his doping past behind him, but Germany's Anti-Doping Agency (Nada) has already said it would investigate.
"For the sport to be clean, it is important that he not only admits his crime, but also mentions the names of other participants in the background," Nada said.
