Ullrich wins a round against Franke

By Susan Westemeyer

Jan Ullrich has won at least one of his legal battles. A court in Hamburg, Germany, has upheld an injunction which prohibits anti-doping crusader Werner Franke from claiming that Ullrich spent 35,000 Euro in one year for illegal doping products.

"Many statements about me are pure speculation," Ullrich said. "In light of the number of things being said, I do not comment on individual statements. But I am glad that the court has put a limit on this subject."
