FRANKFURT, Sept. 13 (AP) - Authorities searched the Swiss home of the
former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich on Wednesday, as well as nine
other homes and offices of people suspected of involvement in a Spanish
doping scandal.

A statement by Germany's Federal Crime Office did not say whose homes
or offices had been searched. But Ullrich's manager, Wolfgang
Strohband, confirmed that his and Ullrich's homes had been raided.

Ullrich, who is on his honeymoon, was not at home during the raid,
Strohband said.

The headquarters of Ullrich's former T-Mobile team in Bonn were also
searched. "We were of course cooperative," a team spokesman,
Christian Frommert, said.

The searches, both in Germany and abroad, were part of the fraud
investigation by prosecutors in connection with the investigation of
the Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

Five people in Spain - including Fuentes and another doctor, José
Luis Merino Batres - were arrested and charged in May when the police
seized drugs and frozen blood at a Madrid clinic. The samples were
thought to have been prepared for performance-enhancing transfusions.

Nine riders, including Ullrich, Ivan Basso and Francisco Mancebo, were
forced to withdraw before the start of this year's Tour de France
because of alleged ties to Fuentes.

Ullrich, who won the 1997 Tour de France, was fired by his T-Mobile
team. He has denied any wrongdoing and has declined to take a DNA test.
