Quoted message said:Steven L. Sheffield said:The allegations are as follows:
On Jan Ullrich: The surname "Jan" appears four times in document 32, where
it is linked to a list of code-named products, which are: blood, growth
hormone, IGF-I (growth factor) and testosterone.
... So the "surname 'Jan'" couldn't refer to Xavier Jan?
You seem to forget the SMS sent by "Rudicio" on the day of the Giro
ITT, see my other message about that
Almost all the evidence they have thus far is circumstantial.

On Rudy Pevenage: On May 17, at 23.27, Fuentes received an SMS text message
from a Belgian number with the following message: "Friend, when can we talk?
Rudicio." On the next day, at 12.20, Fuentes receives a call from the same
number. As he's busy, he asks the person to call back later. "This evening,"
he responds. "Now, there's a time trial." [which was won by Jan Ullrich -
ed.] The elements lead to the supposition that the identity of "Rudicio" is
T-Mobile's DS Rudy Pevenage, who is also a close personal advisor of Jan
Ullrich.
Note: "The elements lead to the SUPPOSITION that that the identity of
"Rudicio" is T-Mobile's DS Rudy Pevenage."
It doesn't say "the number is registered to Rudy Pevenage" (which, while
still circumstantial, would be harder evidence to refute).
On the same day (May 18) as the mentioned time-trial in the Giro, there was
also a time-trial in the Tour de l'Aude in which Janne Brok was a
participant. Yes, I know she is a woman ... but is women's cycling any
cleaner compared to men's?
Taking time changes into account, there was also a time-trial in the Tour of
Japan (May 19), in which the Belgian rider Jan Verstraeten was a
participant.
