Although the Bonn, Germany prosecutor's office has matched Jan Ullrich's DNA sample to nine bags of blood seized in the Operacion Puerto affair, the retired rider maintains that he is innocent of any wrongdoing. "That does not change the fact that I have a clean conscience," Ullrich said. "In my entire career I have never cheated or used anybody, and I can't admit to a failure that doesn't exist. I am not afraid of any trial, any prosecuting attorney or any federation."
There are still many unanswered questions, he wrote on his website, janullrich.de, but he will not address them publicly until his case is closed.
