I could see him trying to damage JV in any way that he could, he never misses and opportunity to snipe at him. He's already proclaimed a certain amount of contempt for their "clean" approach, and compared it, negatively, against HTC's program because HTC wins more (although they have hardly made an impact on the Grand Tour podiums).
But I don't think he'd get any traction there. Z-man, CVV, JV...I think those guys are just dying for this to all come out in the open. Let's be honest, JV already came clean with Kimmage, and to debate otherwise is sheer idiocy. These guys want to talk about it, and I assume they already have to Novitsky. JV was quite clear in regards to the cooperative stance he and everyone on his team would have.
For any skeptics, I would have to think that any testimony from CVV and Big George—especially if they corroborate one another—would be insurmountable. I really thought George did himself a disservice when he lamely stood up for himself against Floyd's initial claims. I now have to wonder if outside pressure was put on him to do so.
Funny how when everything broke out in the open, I never heard LA say, "There was NO doping on USPS. Just go ask Tyler, Christian, Dave Z., Matt White, George and Levi. Go ahead, ask them!"
And what about Levi? He's been awfully quiet through all this. To busy congratulating himself on beating up on the locals at Leadville? He made proud statements upon his return to the clutches of LA and Johan, making the accurate point that he was the only rider to leave the team on good terms and then return. So where does that leave him? He knew full well what he was getting back into, and yet...
I think LA was insanely jealous about the exposure that Slipstream was receiving in his absence, and I think he would do anything he could to tarnish them on his way down. Remember 2008? The media was all about Garmin. LA's return must've cost Vaughter's team at least 70% of the exposure they were getting prior. Ultimately though, I think they'll be standing on opposite sides of the fence, and it may just be a bit lonely on LA's side. And then there's Allen Lim's position in all of this, but that's probably another thread...
