According to wikipedia Ullrich was given a 6 month ban: "After a positive blood sample for amphetamine in June of 2002,..." Mcquaid has stated that Ullrich will be given a lifetime ban if convicted.

According to Cycling news no DNA samples were taken during the raid by police.

No DNA samples taken from Ullrich

Contrary to earlier reports, no DNA samples were taken in the search of Jan Ullrich's house in Scherzigen, Switzerland, this week. Chief Swiss investigator Herbert Amman said "That was a hoax." Since Ullrich was not at home at the time, no sample could be taken, he pointed out. The searchers had the right to take a saliva test, but it was not carried out due to Ullrich's absence. Amman conducted the search with the help of German investigators.

Ullrich "has in the meantime appeared and has been oriented over the search," according to Amman. In fact, Ullrich got in touch with the investigators on the day of the search. Amman did not comment as to whether or not Ullrich had given a voluntary DNA sample.
I guess that this tread is moot.
