Riis to hold press conference

Hot on the heels of doping confessions from former Team Telekom riders Erik Zabel, Rolf Aldag, Christian Henn, Bert Dietz and the admissions from team doctors Andreas Schmid and Lothar Heinrich that they administered doping products to the team's riders, Team CSC director Bjarne Riis has called a press conference scheduled to be held in Denmark on Friday.

Zabel admitted to using the banned blood boosting hormone EPO during the 1996 Tour de France, a race won by Riis who was also riding for Team Telekom. Riis, the director of Team CSC since 2001, must now respond to the confessions of his former colleagues and doctors, all of whom refused to speak about any other riders' activities.
