When is the smackdown on Chris Horner?

[maltiv]

a missed test that would be pretty huge if true and certainly a nail for the doubters to hammer into him. But was he not tested last night as part of being overall winner?

He might have thought that, since he was tested yesterday, he was safe today to start his "preparation" for worlds.

Scared of a positive for marching powder or something?

Spanish anti-doping was sent out by USADA to test Horner this morning. Horner was nowhere to be seen. They've apparently checked two hotels.

should have looked in the nearest mcdonalds

If I ever won a grand tour, I'm not sure anyone would be able to find ME the next morning.

There is something funny going on here, considering he would have been tested after the last stage

Horners son

horner probably went partying anyway, it's not strange they cannot find him in his hotel.
They better start checking gutters, rooftops and elevators

 

[Dear Wiggo]

I thought he was going straight home to the US for 10 days?

 

[sniper]

Who tipped him off?

 

[hrotha]

So they found another rider in what was supposed to be his room, huh? The victory celebrations got pretty wild by the looks of it.

Radioshack: "[the testers] came to the team hotel, Horner was not there, he was in the hotel where his wife was staying."

Radioshack also say hotel change is mentioned in whereabouts form #Horner

 

[goggalor]

Wow, that didn't take long.

 

[Ferminal]

Pretty scummy to go to the press screaming "Horner is missing" even though it looks like it will not even go down as an official miss. That said I guess he deserves a bit more infamy. I just wish Liggett was commentating somewhere today so could lose it.

It took them quite some time, IMO. No one at Radioshack was available for comment when the news became public.

I especially liked the headline: "Did Horner FLEE FROM A TEST? (Small print: Probably not)"

 

[maltiv]

Note that the original source says USADA checked two hotels. The other one must have been the one with his wife, no?

 

[Cycle Chic]

Cycling - You couldn't make this stuff up !

 

[doolols]

Don't cyclists have mobile phones? Nor team managers and DSIs? Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble?

 

[sniper]

the interesting part is that usada ordered the test.
travis not buying it?
