Leipheimer and a USADA attorney told the team months ago of the investigation, and of Leipheimer's role". Cyclingnews noted that Omega Pharma general manager <a href="/facts/Patrick_Lefevere/2zFgEoGD">Patrick Lefevere</a> "had admitted in 2007 to having used doping products, including amphetamines, during his own career".
