Has Merricks "dropped Lance"?
From the emails it is obvious he is trying to keep clear water between him and "the situation". He makes very accurate statements too, obviously aware that it will all be on the record now, and picked over soon too.
It looks to me like he has decided that he won't be singing in tune with any of the camps now, probably having realized that whatever the fall-out is, that his race won't have tied itself to the downfall of any of the named riders that are still star participants.
If one was obviously lying, and the other obviously not, and the one(s) being smeared was/were arguably the assets that are the engine behind your very survival, keeping a safe distance is an interesting pick as "the best/wise thing to do under the circumstances".
