UCI president Pat McQuaid has vowed to take Jan Ullrich's case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) if the Swiss Cycling Federation provide him with a license for 2007.

"If the Swiss Cycling Federation do not exclude Jan Ullrich we will consider going to the court of arbitration for sport," McQuaid told SportBild magazine.

The 33-year-old Ullrich’s contract was terminated by his T-Mobile team during this year's Tour de France - which he was barred from racing in when the allegations weremade - after a Spanish investigation offered evidence that he was involved indoping.

Ullrich is said to have been given the blood-boosting drug EPO, human growth hormones and steroids by Eufemio Fuentes but denies knowing the doctor.

Ullrich has already had his Swiss home raided by police as the doping investigation continues.
