red_flanders said:It's certainly possible that he was trying to evade, but there isn't any evidence of that and it does seem very odd that he'd try and evade a test after the race was over having (likely) been tested and (presumably) passed them on the preceding two days.
Just for Horner? No. There's bigger fish to fry, and reduced sentences should only be given for truly significant assistance in the fight against doping.darwin553 said:Anyone give Armstrong a reduced sentence if he has anything to reveal on Horner?

SpeedWay said:You're a newbie. You haven't read the agenda driven mission statement of the clinic. First offense, using "scintilla" instead of "soupcon". Second, you can issue "libelous claims" at a 140 lbs. "grandpa". Try doing that with old man Kalama and he'd pop the seat cap and stuff you and your crybaby a$$ down the seat mast whole.

a perfectly good thread to slag Horner and Froome and we get this crap
131313 said:The people making that claim have a very limited understanding of both Horner's career and how pro cycling actually works. Horner has gotten results his entire career, from the very beginning, from his very first year as a pro, and from his first year in Europe.
He underperformed in Europe his first trip there because...]
In his second go-round in Europe, he was always successful--he was just in a position that he was always working as a top domestique. Part of this is that he's a stage race guy who's not a great TT guy. That seriously limited his opions...]
red_flanders said:I think they used the article to clearly suggest there is something untoward. I think that's OK on a forum as it's pretty easy disbelieve the performance given the circumstances but I think a writer has a different level of expectation.
Anyway, not surprising given the history of the sport. They've brought it on themselves. Still I'd have like to have seen better from the writer.
silverrocket said:You say people that think Horner didn't get the big results in the past that he is getting now have a "limited understanding" of how "pro cycling actually works". You then proceed to explain why Horner didn't get big results until relatively recently. I'm not sure you made the point you wanted to.

maybe you just didn't read my post. He had limited opportunity to get big results. When he got the opportunity, he got them.
