Former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich has spoken candidly about blood doping during his career for the first time, ahead of a four-part Amazon Prime documentary series called Der Gejagte (The Hunted), released November 28 in Germany.
"If you wanted to keep up, you had to take part," Ullrich told German outlet Stern. "The general attitude was: If you don't do this, how will you survive in a race? Without help, the widespread perception at the time was that it would be like going to a gunfight armed only with a knife."
