The only German Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich wants to “unpack – comprehensive, honest and exclusive” in a documentary series from “Amazon Prime Video”. The streaming service announced this in a statement.
In four episodes, the career, the successes and the crashes of the former cycling star should be looked back on.
“There’s been a lot of news about me lately, good and bad. Now it’s time for me to tell my story, the whole story of how I went from hunter to hunted. I’d like to take you on a journey through my Life. With all the turbulence, setbacks and challenges, “Ullrich was quoted in the message. The native of Rostock had previously rejected an extensive doping confession.
25 years ago, Ullrich was the only German to win the most important cycling race in the world and triggered a cycling boom in Germany.
The career of the multiple world champion came to an abrupt end in 2006 after his connection to doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes became public. For this he was later banned by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport Cas. After that, Ullrich also made many negative headlines privately.
Before the Tour de France this summer, an “ARD” documentary had caused a great response. In it, the Olympic champion from 2000 did not have a say himself. When the documentary will appear on “Amazon Prime Video” was not mentioned.
