Jaksche hearing today

The Austrian cycling federation is holding its hearing of Jörg Jaksche today. The German cyclist, who lives in Austria, confessed to having been a client of Doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

Jaksche confessed to having blood transfusions conducted by the doctor at the centre of Operación Puerto and his helpers, among other things. He also said that he wanted to help cycling in its fight against doping. He is hoping for a reduced sentence in light of his confession.
