He's not anywhere near on the same level as Ferrari or Fuentes who worked on a more wider scale with riders across many teams. This is known. Leinders has been known to work only with the team he has been employed by. This is fact and not baseless innuendo that he is working freelance away from it. Nothing whatsoever has been shown to say he worked outside of Rabobank for the 13 years he was there or the time he was at Sky. Unless you know something I don't.
Anything else said is just baseless speculation.
I'm not playing down his influence. I already said he was more along the lines of del Moral or Celaya than a Ferrari or Fuentes.
4 months ago people were telling Leinders knew nothing of dope and didn't administer a program at Rabo.
Even Sky were telling us that.
Now we find out he was the original no positives and put together sophisticated, systematic team wide doping program - with blood.
Ferrari was originally a team operator. Until he was booted and he became much more successful.
Leinders is on the same journey.
He's about to get a whole lot more wealthy.
If anything Ferrari is now damged goods.
Fuentes has the Spanish police breathing down his neck.
Leinders is the new kid in town.
He's about to clean up - pardon the pun.
The new talking points now is "he's no Ferrari" - seriously? Is that what we've come to?
