should have been his 3rd already had Horner been popped in 2013.....
Seriously, youare in the PRR forum. Speculation about doping is off-limits. Please don’t force us to ban people, there’s loads of discussion in the clinic you can be part of.

Just to reinforce what King Boonen has said, no clinic talk or accusations are allowed on this side of the forum. Please go to the clinic.

What is his contract situation and how might this affect it? I take it that it will affect his salary.

He’s under contract until 2020. Obviously it’s hard to say at the moment what will happen to that contract or salary.

It'll be fun if he starts the Giro next year and wins it but is then DQ'ed. Wonder how many GTs different people would say he's won?

Eh, 6 on the road, 4 in the books. Of course there is a slight difference with Alberto's case, as he had been cleared at that point. But we'll see, either way I doubt we'll have a decision by May next year.

I think we'll have a decision before the Giro starts, and that his holiday won't be backdated (based on Ulissi's case).

Just in case he gets banned, Sky has a no tolerance policy. Doesn't that mean they have to throw Froome out of their team if they want to keep any credibility.

Sky says they have a no tolerance policy. But we've seen plenty of times there's a great discrepancy between what Sky says and what Sky does.
