Ullrich gets temporary injunction against Franke

Jan Ullrich has won his first legal battle in the Operation Puerto doping scandal. Over the weekend, a court in Hamburg, Germany, issued a temporary injunction against Prof. Dr. Werner Franke, at Ullrich's request.

Franke may no longer claim that Ullrich paid €35,000 in one year for doping products. If he makes this claim publicly again, Franke will be subject to a fine of up to €250,000 or 6 months imprisonment, according to www.janullrich.de.
