BORDEAUX, France (AP) – Former cycling trainer Freddy Sergant was sentenced to four years in jail Monday in a trial centered on a doping ring that supplied a cocktail of amphetamines, cocaine and heroin to riders in France and Belgium.

Sergant received the harshest of 23 sentences, with none of the defendants escaping punishment.

The sentencing comes amid a scandal that threw the Tour de France into chaos on the eve of the race. Several top cyclists were withdrawn Friday because of a doping investigation in Spain.

Sergant, a Belgian believed to be the key figure, also was fined more than $230,000. His wife, Monique, was given a one-year prison term.

The other sentences ranged from about $1,900 to a 2-year prison term – with 20 months suspended – for former pro cyclist Laurent Roux. He said he would appeal.

His brother Fabien was sentenced to two years, with 15 months suspended. The brothers, each having already has been jailed eight months, were ordered to pay more than $230,000 apiece in fines.

“I have the impression that, despite what just happened in the Tour de France, that I’m the (scapegoat) for a totally corrupt system,” Laurent Roux said.

About 2,000 doses of what is often called a “magic cocktail” or “Belgian cocktail” were sold in France and Belgium between 2002 and 2005, the prosecutor said.

Ullrich’s team says no sign he’ll take drug test

Jan Ullrich’s cycling team does not know if the former Tour de France champion will agree to tests to disprove doping accusations.

T-Mobile withdrew Ullrich from starting this year’s Tour de France when the German was implicated in the Spanish investigation.

Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997 and was runner-up five times to Lance Armstrong, was a leading contender to win this year’s race, which started Saturday. Since his suspension on the eve of the race, he has kept a low profile amid calls for him to undergo tests to counter the allegations.

“We would welcome it if he would agree to take a DNA test, but it is ultimately a question that Jan Ullrich, his management and his lawyers must answer,” Team T-Mobile spokesman Christian Frommert told German television Monday.

The DNA test would prove whether a disputed blood sample came from Ullrich.

Ullrich said on his Web site he was “deeply shocked” at the accusations.

“I’ve got nothing to do with it,” he wrote. “Being kicked out of the Tour de France is the worst thing that has happened to me in my career so far.”

He maintained that all his doping tests by Tour officials were negative, and he criticized officials for not clearly informing him of the accusations.

Ullrich said he will consult with his lawyer on how best to prove his innocence.

“I won’t give up,” he said.

The German rider’s first name allegedly turned up on a list of 56 cyclists identified in a Spanish investigation as having contact with a doctor tied to alleged doping.

Oscar Sevilla, Ullrich’s teammate, also was suspended by the T-Mobile team, as was sporting director Rudi Pevenge.

German newspapers, despite heavy soccer coverage of the World Cup, devoted considerable space last weekend to Ullrich, with the leading Bild tabloid asking: “Jan, have you lied to us the whole time?”

Monday’s edition of Bild ran copies of what it said were several lists found by Spanish authorities where the name “Jan” appears clearly printed in an alleged inventory of blood samples found in a doping laboratory.
