Ludewig out for the season

Jörg Ludewig will not do any more races for T-Mobile this season, according to German newsagency dpa, quoting team spokesman Christian Frommert. The 30 year-old admitted that in 1998, while still riding as an amateur, he sent a letter asking about "medical preparations that could increase my performance." Although he denied ever using banned drugs, T-Mobile considered the letter serious enough to put him on the bench for the rest of the year.
