T-Mobile sponsor donates to NADA

Deutsche Telekom, sponsor of the T-Mobile Team, has donated €150,000 to the German national anti-doping agency (NADA). The agreement to make the donation was signed last week, NADA spokeswoman Ulrike Spitz told the dpa press agency.

However, the donation is not related to the recent doping confessions from former Team Telekom riders, as discussions about it had been started in December 2006.

In addition, Telekom pays the NADA €50,000 yearly for the doping controls carried out on the T-Mobile riders.
