T-Mobile plans "round table discussion" over doping

T-Mobile Team and sponsor T-Mobile are staying aggressive in their fight against doping with cycling. They will hold a round table discussion on the issue at the HEW Cyclassics Pro Tour race on July 30, with the national association (Bund Deutsche Radfahrer) president Rudolf Scharping.

Many of the biggest doping affairs have not been discovered through routine testing - for example, Jan Ullrich, David Millar and Richard Virenque were never tested positive in a race. T-Mobile therefore wants to work more closely with the National Anti-Doping Agency. Team Gerolsteiner has also indicated its willingness to participate in the project. In addition, Frommert said, doping critics such as the biologist Werner Franke and Austrian doctor and nutrition expert Kurt Moosburger will also take part.
