In order to test the unification scheme for double-lobed radio sources, the far-infrared properties of matched samples of radio-galaxies and radio-loud quasars were studied using ISOPHOT. The quasar data were complemented with nearly simultaneous submillimeter and centimeter radio data. The results show that quasars are generally brighter than radio-galaxies in their far-infrared output and that beamed non-thermal radiation must be excluded as source for this infrared excess. However, non-thermal flares or optically thick tori can still reconcile these results with the unification scheme.
