Four part documentary of Jan Ullrich's career, detailing dramatic rise and fall, available to watch on Amazon Prime

The dramatic story of Jan Ullrich has been back in the headlines recently following the German's admission that during his peak he used performance-enhancing drugs. Now courtesy, of Amazon Prime, you can get an in-depth look back at his rollercoaster ride.

Featuring comments and analysis from the likes of Lance Armstrong, T-Mobile press spokesman Christian Frommert, doping expert Hajo Seppelt, Rudy Pevenage and doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes among others, the four-part documentary details Ullrich's career through the highs of Tour de France glory, to the lows of struggles relating to addiction.

As is often the case with our heroes, beyond their sporting image, they aren't perfect individuals. Whilst the documentary is keen to pose Ullrich in a heroic light, documenting his rise from an East German childhood, his demons are also given a light.

With Ullrich also finally admitting to his doping transgressions, he apologises to fans and riders he cheated, leaves the door open to returning to the cycling world in some capacity. Will he be allowed to do so? Only time will tell. He definitely wouldn't be the first self-admitted doper to return to the fold. Perhaps a podcast, similar to the 'The Move' by cycling's persona non grata, Armstrong is more likely than an active role within the sport.
