Filling in the Blanks (redacted names in decision)

[allez21]

Hi all,

I have been a long time reader but never posted. Thought this could be useful if we just all figure out the redacted names in USADA's decision and have them in writing so that people who are new can go ahead and get it all together.

True, some of this stuff is guessing, but by a process of elimination and inference we can probably get them all.

I'll start. Hincapie's affidavit states "[In 1996] Rider 4 did very well at the Vuelta a Espana."

Looking at the results, Julich was top 10.

Rider 4: Bobby Julich.

Now, your turn.

Rider 9

Rider 9 = Matt White

The redaction of a name and insertion of ''Rider-9'' is to keep that person's identity anonymous. But it becomes clear in ''Exhibit B'' of Landis' affidavit in a copied document titled ''Forwarded conversation'', sent from Landis to an anonymous recipient on April 30, 2010.

On page 2 of that document, the last two lines of the first paragraph that again refer to 2003 are almost verbatim to what Landis said in his affidavit. They read: ''While training for that Vuelta, I spent a good deal of time training with Matthew White and Michael Barry and shared the testosterone and EPO that we had and discussed the use thereof while training.''
