According to Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, Gerolsteiner team boss Hans-Michael Holczer was informed by the UCI at the the rest day of the Tour 2005 in Grenoble that Levi Leipheimer's blood values were pretty suspicious. The coefficient for Levi's values returned 132.8. That's 0.2 away from the threshold, but strongly indicating manipulation, thereby confirming the Landis accusations.
However, Holczer mentioned that he did not follow the UCI recommendation to suspend Leipheimer and take him out of the race as he feared legal consequences. Today, he regrets it and realizes that he helped obfuscate and camouflage possible blood manipulation by Leipheimer.
Levi's blood values' off-score for that day is 133. The UCI guidelines indicate that a value over 127 is "highly suspicious" and the probability graph lists a score of 133 along a 99.99% probability of blood manipulation.
EDIT: To elaborate, his off-score is 132.8
133 = suspension

Guessing Levi won't comment on this...
Why don't any reporters have the balls to ask Levi about this case and the 1996 doping case, it cant be that hard  |

They did ask him about his very bad performance at the 2006 Tour TT right after further revelations came out from the Puerto investigation.
He was extremely angry at being asked why he had had a bad performance. Notice, the reporters didn't mention Puerto. Yet he was extremely angry.
He then proceeded to do what people who are trying to come up with a good excuse do: he gave about 4 different excuses in different interviews, finally settling on the most common excuse ever: "It was a stomach bug".
Levi's a shifty character. He and his family have given a few different lies to the media the few times they were asked about the 1996 case.
Including saying he proved his innocence and the suspension was revoked. Which is a complete lie.

What's the point of the Levi story at this stage?
Holczer was one of the guy's that shouted loudest that his team was oh so clean back in the day. Knowing things like this didn't stop him climbing on his high horse.
Levi stays very low down in my estimation, Holczer drops even further down the list. |

The unnamed rider admitted his own performance-enhancing drug use and alleged that systematic doping had taken place in the American squad when questioned by Jeff Novitzky’s investigative team.

Any idea who that rider is ? Can't be Landis or Hamilton, can't be Padrnos either. Then who ?
Could the fact he spoke with the New York Times be a clue ? |

Hincapie, Zabriskie, Leipheimer... There are too many former team mates to think about a special one  |

Given the people who have been interrogated and the other information in the article, everyone can be excluded except Zabriskie and Vande Velde.
Now, which one of those two? No idea

Well VDV is for sure in america right now resting his collarbone, Dave Z might be in Europe somewhere, so I would lean towards VDV. |

Only Hamilton, Zabriskie and Vande Velde have been interviewed by Novitzky and the article states it's not someone who's been to the grand jury. So it's not Hamilton.
Also, Livingston would be insane to testify. He's a very close friend of Armstrong and he's got a very sweet job working at Mellow Johny's. If he talks, Armstrong fires him and he loses an easy, highly paid job and has no prospects of getting much else.
Not to mention he's a very close friend of Lance's so he'll deny everything as long as he can

In the end, I think Lance is going to be like Barry Bonds. Everyone but his fanboys will know he's guilty, but he'll never actually get punished for it.
Who I really feel sorry for are the people who have been affected by cancer and used this man as a hero. |

“Am I happy to ride for Contador? No I’m not,” he said to Ekstra Bladet. “Now you can interpret whether it means that I don’t want to ride for him, or whether I’m switching teams.”
“It would be a strange situation,” he added, “riding for Fränk and Andy one year and then riding for Contador the next. It would be strange to be riding against my friends.”
Likely that is his way of saying he's following the Schlecks. |
