I'm not bashing Levi, but was intrigued by the subtlety here. The headline reads "Levi Leipheimer joins in unsanctioned mountain bike event despite suspension", reading the article, he didn't pay to "join" the race to "train", he advised the RD and got permission but asked to be left off the results, didn't try to win but "followed the strongest guy".
Head down, thumbs up, give'r
