Leipheimer et al claiming to have raced clean since 2005, 2006, or 2007 makes for a nice story, and i'd like to believe it, but i think these claims need some scrutiny, once the dust has settled from the armstrong investigation.
the average speed at the tour has been fairly consistent for the last 15 years. leipheimer finished 3rd in the 2007 tour and 2nd in the 2008 vuelta, apparently clean.
How did he have his best GT results clean after being doped to the gills for the previous five or so years?
How did the tour average speed stay close to the same for clean riders?
It would be nice to see some scrutiny of data for the doping and not doping eras for the riders that confessed.
