Some German politicians have recommended that the national television channels boycott cycling until it gets cleaned up, but the two senders, ARD and ZDF have said that they want to continue showing the sport.
Peter Danckert, head of the German parliament's sport committee, called for the publicly-supported stations to stop showing races. "I recommend a temporary boycott, until things have been cleared up," he said, according to the press agency dpa. "It shouldn't be so that millions of people pay fees [for the TV stations] which go to support a sport that is not doping-free."
