 Guardian Unlimited Sport | Special reports | Basso and Ullrich facing expulsion
The Tour de France was thrown into chaos yesterday after the event's two biggest favourites, Jan Ullrich of Germany and the Italian Ivan Basso, were named unofficially in the Spanish press as being on a list of riders allegedly implicated in a Spanish doping inquiry.
The Tour was yesterday facing a major blow to its credibility: if steps were eventually taken against Basso and Ullrich the race could, potentially, be deprived of the two men expected to fight out the overall victory.
Basso and Ullrich were among a brief list of names published yesterday, respectively by the radio station Cadena Ser and the newspaper El Pais, both close to Spain's left-wing government, which today puts its anti-doping bill before the parliament.
