2 guys?

Disappearing from the news - speculation about the names of the 2 unnamed who're said to be cooperating in the investigation based on Landis' allegations.

As has been reported in the WSJ - the #1 racer - George Hincapie, not! Tabloid rag.

I'd surmise Dave Zabriskie. Remember in the opening TT of the '05 TdF when Lance passed a dazed Ullrich to open up more than a minute on his main rival - Lance didn't win that stage, Zabriskie did. He inexplicably crashed in the Stage 4 TTT and dropped out a few days after. But if you look at the top 10 finishing order at the end of Lance's 7th win in '05 it reads like a dopers encyclopedia - 2nd Basso, 3rd Ullrich, 4th Mancebo, 6th Vinokourov, 7th Rasmussen, 9th Landis. Touted as a good all-arounder he's been missing in action so far at this year's TdF - none of the usual antics; something's on his mind.

The #2 racer - Christain Vande Velde. OK, yeah I know, he wasn't among those publicly named, but I'd suspect - especially now that he's now available to talk - that he'll at the very least be a person of interest. He's been around the sport a long time, started his pro career with USPS (1998-2003) rode the TdF in support of Lance in '99 & '01, and his progression from domestique to the top ranks finishing 4th in '08 & 8th at the TdF last year. Knows stuff & not afraid to spill beans.

Both these guys currently race for the Garmin-Transitions team whose Director has given the green light to cooperate about past transgressions.

My dark horse would be Levi Leipheimer. Seems to be more reserved than his quiet self, though still doing interviews on Verses. His career has been very successful right from the start - though has previously been sanctioned for a minor drug violation as an amateur after winning the Elite National Crit in '96. His quick progression to 3rd in the Vuelta in '01, while doing extremely well over the years at the Deutschland Tour, Dauphiné Libéré, Tour of Georgia, & the Tour of CA; while virtually tying Contador on the road in the Vuelta in '08 (time bonuses to his teammate relegated him to place 2nd overall); leads my suspicion pointing his direction.

What say you?
