Jan Ullrich wants to "tell (his) story, the whole story" in upcoming Amazon documentary series

Jan Ullrich, winner of the 1997 Tour de France and the 1999 Vuelta a Espana, double ITT world champion in 1999 and 2001, but also Olympic champion in 2000, will as planned be the subject of a documentary series on Amazon Prime Video, in which he promises to tell his whole story. Der Gejagte will be released on November 28.
"I sacrificed my whole life to get where I got to," Ullrich begins by explaining in this trailer. The only German rider to have won the Tour de France experienced a descent into hell as fast and impressive as his debut was a real fairy tale. His success story ended in 2006, when he stopped his career in a strong suspicion of doping and links with Puerto affair.
Jan Ullrich wants to confide and claims to want to "tell (his) story, the whole story" without leaving anything out and especially not doping. "Twenty years later, you have to admit your faults. It would be wrong to say that I didn't deceive anyone. The fans, in particular."
"Other riders came to see me asking me for a miracle formula to win," but also Lance Armstrong, his former great rival to whom he is now very close. The American notably supported him in his most difficult post-career moments, when he sank into depression and came close to the worst. "I really escaped death. I took cocaine and drank whiskey like water."

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
