„No Swiss court would have aknowledged this as valid documents.“ „Hence Jan Ullrich is not being suspended by the Swiss federation right now.“ Yet trouble and suspension are not out of the question as the UCI might take action against Ullrich. And still there is German Professor Franke who has filed suit against Ullrich. Franke, a molecular Bioglogist and German anti-doping warrior, has reported that Ulllrich has „most probably has submitted false affidavit“.According to German tabloid Bild it is not yet clear wether German courts concerned are acutally aware of this. In his affidavit Ullrich stated: „The claim I had payed Dr. Fuentes € 35.000 for providing illegal substances in one single year is actually wrong.“

 
Nevertherless German media reported today that the prosecuter of Bonn has opened a case against Jan Ullrich after Professor Britta Bannenberg filed fraud charges against Jan Ullrich.
