Dr. Lothar Heinrich, T-Mobile Team doctor, says he is "very astounded" at the list of illegal doping that Jan Ullrich is alleged to have used during the Tour de France 2005. The Suddeutsche Zeitung has published what it claims is Ullrich's doping schedule for the first week of the tour, prepared by Dr. Fuentes, and which includes testosterone, insulin and growth hormones, as well as a blood transfusion.
"You can't tell things like that by looking at a person," Dr. Heinrich said, and added that Ullrich never showed any conspicuous signs of such doping usage. "The changes in the hormone level caused by the use of testosterone should be noticeable in urine tests. But Ullrich never tested positive at a doping test at a race," he noted, but the complicated test for growth hormone "can be carried out in perhaps two or three labs in Europe."
