I think we now know who the secret pro was talking about

I think we already did. 
But yeah, this strengthens the theory even more.

Yep, obviously him
He was a 9 on the blood passport suspicion list a few years back. Ridiculous that it took this long. Well, even more ridiculous that the others like Popovych and Vandenbroeck are still out there, actually.

That guy was still riding?
As I understand it, he demolished the local Tuesday Night Crit last week, and has plans to do so again tomorrow

Menchov retires a little while after that Secret Pro-deal? How peculiar.
Well, I guess we'll nver get to the bottom of this riddle!
There's a fine line between "psychotherapist" and "psycho the rapist"

Nope, it's just a little peculiar that he suddenly retires right after that whole thing.

Most suspicious of this is that both Leipheimer and Menchov retire on the same day

If Popovych is still doping, he is on some really bad stuff. Or he's still using the same he used 10 years ago

There's a Popovych prior to Discovery, a Popovych in Discovery and a Popovych after that. |

The problem is precisely that he can't use what he used 10 years ago anymore.

It's quite obvious actually. He clearly took a step back in his doping after Bileka got caught.

Taking care he's best result at PT level since he left Discovery was 14th in 2008 at the Tour, and a 14th in the Giro, that says it all. Wonder how he never got caught tough. |

Precisely. Before that he was quite good.
But he took another step back way before that. He was way better pre-Puerto

Menchov randomly retires in the middle of the season... odd...

And didn't he say in the beggining of the season his goal was the Tour? And now he says it was the Giro? |

Yeah, needs to be uploaded into Photobucket or Imageshack. Something that probably is a good idea to add to the site as well. |
