There never was any doubt.
1. A pro team wants to know every medical detail of their assets (riders). Even benign you want to know their condition and want to know if they can run afoul of the passport.
This makes 100% certain that Leinders kept tabs on Rasmussen, Dekker and Mencov.
2. The decisions about Rasmussen were taken in concert with Rasmussen and the Management Team (coincidentally including Leinders). A judge explicitly acknowledged this and granted MR his salary and winners bonus.
We have a management team actively involved in whereabouts fraud and with at least one of them (Leinders) aware of doping practices.
3. Now if you run a pro-team on a doping regime, something which is without a doubt the case as the MR case already showed, you would try to control it. You don't want your riders to go rogue and endanger their health and run the risk of getting caught. Considering their relative lack of positives and their remarkable succes in GT's it indicates that the internal regime was safe and pretty good.
Leinders was both on the executive end (Management Team) as in possesion of all the rider data.
The conclusion is clear: Leinders must have been actively involved in the doping regimes at Rabo. The affidavit of LL is simply confirmation of what we should have known from the start.
