The AP is reporting that Jan Ullrich, the one time winner and five time runner-up in the Tour de France, has been suspended by his team on the basis of "very concrete information" regarding a growing doping scandal coming out of Spain. The Tour has already asked two Spanish teams to withdraw from the race, and Ullrich was among 56 cyclists named in a Spanish probe as having contact with a doctor charged in connection with the alleged doping. Aside from Ullrich the top names include American Tyler Hamilton (currently serving a two-year suspension for testing positive for blood doping at the Spanish Vuelta in September 2004), Italian Ivan Basso, and Spaniards Francisco Mancebo and Roberto Heras. This is an inauspicious prelude to cycling's biggest event, the Tour de France, which is scheduled to start on Saturday.
