Jan Ullrich rediscovers love of cycling
With the threat of a lifetime ban hanging over his head, a healthy and upbeat Jan Ullrich said he looks forward to the final resolution of doping allegations linked to 2006’s Operación Puerto, adding that a sanction would have little practical effect on his life as a retired racer or newfound happiness as a recreational cyclist.
In the United States to participate in Miami’s Gran Fondo Colnago, a smiling Ullrich signed autographs and posed for pictures with several hundred fans at Saturday’s pre-ride expo at Miami’s City Hall.
In a wide-ranging interview conducted in English and German (translated by his manager, Falk Nier), Ullrich spoke about his plans, including a newly announced connection to a Dubai-based company marketing low-oxygen chambers designed to mimic the physiological effects of training at altitude.
The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has doggedly pursued sanctions against the retired rider, who was forbidden to start the 2006 Tour de France after allegations connecting him to the doping network of Dr. Eufemiano Fuentes. The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is expected to rule in Ullrich’s case before the end of the month, bringing its formal conclusion some five years after his departure from the sport.
Nier explained that Ullrich is puzzled by the lengthy timeline involved, but most of all “wants to have a final decision, because then it’s over.”
Questioned about the body’s unusual pursuit of a rider long since removed from the sport, the UCI has maintained that retirement does not preclude punishment and that absent formal action there would be nothing to prevent an unsanctioned retiree from returning to the sport. Independent of the verdict, Ullrich put those fears to rest on Saturday.
“There is no chance of (me) getting back to race something,” explained Ullrich, who likewise denies any desire to enter team management at a competitive level. Instead, Ullrich attributes recreational cycling to his victory over burnout syndrome, with which he was diagnosed in 2010.
The rider has signed on as an ambassador for Gran Fondo USA, the organizer of the Miami event, and has plans to participate in a number of upcoming rides for the company. His return to the bike has brought Ullrich such joy that he may soon bring his experience to bear as a mentor to younger riders. Nier reports the two have had early discussions with a number of organizations interested in tapping the former champion’s expertise (in ways unlikely to be influenced by any potential sanctions he may face).
Asked why he felt the UCI had been so persistent in its pursuit, Ullrich speculated that media pressure had forced the body to “be hardline.” And hardline it may yet be. While other riders implicated in the scandal have served and returned from standard two-year bans, a lifetime sanction may not be out of the question, according to Nier. Ullrich previously served a six-month suspension after popping amphetamines at a nightclub in 2002.
Whatever comes his way, Ullrich sees little influence in the ruling. Retired, healthy and happy, he has returned to the spotlight in recent weeks, re-launching his personal website and establishing a Facebook page and YouTube channel to coincide with his Miami appearance and the announcement of his new business venture.
“The rest is over for him right now,” explained Nier, “so, you know, he wants to start a new part of his life.”

IMG Owner Ted Forstmann Loses Battle with Cancer
IMG owner, chairman and CEO Ted Forstmann, considered one of the most influential and respected men in the global sport industry, has lost his courageous battle with cancer and passed away on Sunday at the age of 71.
Forstmann, who acquired IMG for $750 million in 2004 and had since overseen a major remodelling of the global sport, entertainment and media giant and a period of unprecedented growth in its business, had achieved success in the financial world over several decades before moving into sport. Forstmann Little & Co., the investment firm he founded in 1978, returned more than $15 billion to its investors under Forstmann's leadership.
He was also a passionate philanthropist, donating huge amounts of his money and time to a wide range of causes. In 2010 he signed on to The Giving Pledge, a movement whose members commit to donating the majority of their wealth during their lifetime to philanthropic causes. As well as his work with causes across the USA, his international work included his position as the only non-African trustee of the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
His love of sport was longstanding, and in his youth he was a highly regarded tennis prospect as well as playing hockey for Yale University.
Forstmann passed away at his home in New York. He leaves behind two sons, Siya and Everest, brothers Anthony and John, and sisters Marina Forstmann Day and Elissa Forstmann Moran.

Le Coq Replace Nike as Tour de France Leaders Jersey Sponsor
Le Coq Sportif has signed a deal with Tour de France organisers ASO that will see the company sponsor the leader's yellow jersey in cycling's most prestigious stage race.
As part of the deal which will become active in 2012, the French sportswear manufacturer will supply sports clothing - including all prize jerseys - to all races organised by ASO, including the Tour de France, Vuelta a Espana, Paris-Nice, Paris-Roubaix and the Criterium du Dauphine.
The brand will replace Nike, who have had a deal with ASO since 1996, having spent 20 years away from the Tour de France after the company first supplied equipment to the Tour in 1951, an association which ended in 1988.
A Le Coq Sportif spokesman described the new deal as "the perfect gift to celebrate the brand's 130th anniversary."
