BERLIN — The  scandal in German cycling spread to the amateur ranks Saturday when a doctor for the country's Olympic team admitted providing performance-enhancing testosterone to riders as far back as 1980.

Georg Huber, who worked on six Olympic teams, was suspended by both German cycling authorities and the University of Freiburg. Like the two doctors who provided EPO to Team Telekom riders, he worked at the college clinic.

Two former riders triggered his resignation, naming him in a story in Saturday's Suddeutsche Zeitung and claiming doping in German cycling was widespread in amateur ranks long before the Team Telekom scandal.

Several former Team Telekom riders including Erik Zabel, Rolf Aldag and 1996 Tour de France winner Bjarne Riss admitted this week that they used blood-doping EPO during the 1990s.

Christian Henn, one of the Team Telekom riders who acknowledged EPO use, said in the newspaper story that doping began while he was on a youth national team.

"It was made clear to us they were doping in the East (the former Soviet bloc), so we had also had to take something," Henn said. "The whole thing took place in close cooperation with Huber."

Peter Weibel, coach of Germany's under-23 national, was also accused of involvement by one of his former riders. Joerg Mueller said the coach personally gave him performance-enhancing drugs at a 1987 street race in France.

"I don't know what - injections too," said Mueller, now 39.

Weibel will be questioned Monday by the German cycling federation.

"We will discuss the situation with him and in that light decide over further consequences," a federation statement said.

The 64-year-old Huber acknowledged he gave the cyclists testosterone between 1980 and 1990. He has been head doctor for the German paralympics team and worked for the German skiing federation.

The two other University of Freiburg doctors suspected of providing the EPO to Team Telekom, Andreas Schmid and Lothar Heinrich, have been suspended. They are threatened with a lifetime ban from their profession.

The federation also said it has started an internal investigation and won't take action against Zabel until it is completed. He is the only active cyclist to admit to using EPO while with Team Telekom, now called T-Mobile.

The only major figures connected to the 1990s Team Telekom not to have admitted being part of the doping are 1997 Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich and Walter Godefroot, the team's manager at the time.
