Swiss continue Ullrich investigation

By Susan Westemeyer

Jan Ullrich may have turned in his Swiss license and denied that the Swiss cycling federation has any jurisdiction over him, but that is not changing anything. The Swiss doping commission is continuing its investigation of Ullrich, but a decision to press any possible charges will not be made until after the first of the year, Swiss official Bernhard Welten told the German press agency sid. The reason for the delay is that officials in Germany and Spain have said that they will forward further documents in January. Only then can the dossier be passed on to the Swiss Olympic Disciplinary Committee, which will decide whether to open hearings. Welten said that the Doping Commission sees no reason to close the investigation.
