MUNICH, Germany (AP) -- German cyclist Joerg Jaksche has been forced to retire because no one would give him a job after he spilled details of the doping practices used by cycling's top teams.
Jaksche was the first to admit using blood doping in the Operation Puerto scandal during testimony to the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Cycling Union -- cooperating in return for a reduced one-year ban he is still serving. The 31-year-old's decision to retire came when he was turned down by Team Milram after every other team had rejected him. He was hopeful following talks starting in January with the German squad.
