<><I>By Susan Westemeyer </I></P>
<>\"This morning a total of ten houses and offices were searched as part of an investigation directed at persons in cycling sport being led by the public prosecutor in Bonn,\" the German Bundeskriminalamt announced Wednesday afternoon. Among those buildings searched were Jan Ullrich\'s house in Scherzingen, Switzerland, the home and office of his manager, Wolfgang Strohband, in Hamburg, Germany, and the Belgian home of Ullrich\'s advisor, Rudy Pevenage. </P>
<>The prosecutor\'s office also appeared at the T-Mobile offices in Bonn, Germany, and requested documents. \"We cooperated with them, since it is in our interest,\" said T-Mobile spokesman Christian Frommert. </P>
<>The office said that it has opened a fraud investigation, which is being handled by the BKA. \"Based on the investigations conducted by Spanish officials, the persons involved are being charged with having used various performance enhancing products, which are forbidden in cycling, One of the parties involved is alleged to have provided help and in particular obtained the products,\" according to the BKA\'s press release. </P>
<>\"There is the possibility that the named persons have been guilty of fraud, in that they deceived those with whom they have contracts through the use of prohibited doping methods. In this way they have received payments under existing contracts, which they would not have received if the contract partners had known of the use of the prohibited doping methods. \" The investigation is also looking into violations of the prescription drug laws. </P>
<>Strohband confirmed the search of his facilities. \"They have been with me since 9:30 this morning and are taking papers and documents. They\'re still not finished. This is an unbelievable situation, which someone will have to answer for,\" he said. </P>
<>Ullrich is on his honeymoon and was not at home when the search was conducted. It was not immediately known whether searches were conducted at the homes of Oscar Sevilla and Rudy Pevenage, the other former T-Mobile persons involved in the Fuentes doping scandal. </P>
<H4>But Ullrich still optimistic</H4>
<>Despite of all the trouble around him, Jan Ullrich is planning to return to the pro racing scene, he just doesn\'t yet know with which team. He told <I>Bunte</I> magazine that he has several offers to consider. \"I only have to decide which team I want to ride for. He is convinced that \"Everything will be decided in my favour - I am sure of that. What is happening to me now is simply not right. I am innocent.\" </P>
