Levi just won the Tour of Utah, despite losing significant time in Saturday's circuit race. The Colombian team had led until the time trial. They swore they would throw everything they had at Team Radio Shack.
But the talent of a half-dozen Colombian climbers in their prime was no match for Bruyneel's doping regime working on an over-the-hill rider. Levi was able to stick with the top Colombian, coasted in for second place on the stage and first overall in the GC.
I wonder if the UCI banned drug testing for the ToU like they did for the ToC? And how much does Bruyneel have to pay McQuaid to make these ridiculously outrageous decisions?

Scroll down to the bottom video (full interview), and forward the slider to around 11:00. They are discussing the "doping in the team bus" episode and the interviewer asks what was Bruyneel's role. What a slime bag. The name of his book should have been "Might as Well Dope".
