DNA tests affirmed by Gerolsteiner riders

Team Gerolsteiner's riders have all agreed to give DNA samples, if required, the team announced today. It officially reported to the UCI that all 26 riders have signed such an agreement, which was part of an ongoing process started last fall.

"This requirement is naturally part of all new contracts," team manager Hans-Michael Holczer said. "Riders with on-going contracts have voluntarily signed a corresponding addition to their contracts."
