I heard Horner talk about Beetroot juice in '11 when he smashed everyone in California. Bring Nibali some beetroot juice fast for the remaining days of the Vuelta

Somehow the Sporza guys in Belgium were also a bit quiet, when Chris put his bud on the saddle they went ''LOOK HE IS SITTING''.Samson777 said:+1
At danish television the commentators( Rolf Sorensen was a bit silent) talked about how the peloton is cleaner now,than it was in the past. Since there is no super teams around...
What a day to pick, for a statement like that

Incroyable.
131313 said:Actually, you're way off base on that one. The first thing every domestic pro learns is that EPO and test are neither expensive nor are they hard to get. There are plenty of guys who will bring it up from Mexico and are more than willing to sell it to you. And let's face it, Horner new pretty much all there was to know about doping by the time he landed back at Webcor. It's long been noted how a bunch of amateur Cat 1's suddenly started riding a lot better once Horner got there. So, this tale that Horner was taking cough medicine while the others where on full programs is just that: a tale. Also, remember that while the budgets may be smaller, testing in domestic races almost non-existent, both OOC and IC, but particularly IC. Most races don't have the money to test, and the riders know it.
Which part of "a professional athlete at the top level is most likely doping" constitutes a conspiracy theory?webvan said:Not a believer in "conspiracy" theories but when you see what Horner did today you have to wonder where he's been allnthose years, except for the TOC 2011. I guess the "positive" explanation is that he wasn't doing the stuff others were doing back in the day.
Rewatch Angliru 2011 Sporza, it is still one of my favourites. 'Potje koken' lol, journalists/reporters cant get any closer to accusing people of dodgy practices.classicomano said:And Wuyts randomly mentioned Horner rode with Armstrong for 2 years.

Alonso's new team might want to look into signing Horner. They need a winner and Horner speaks Spanish.
Well, that I can't dispute. He's giving hope to all middle aged men in the world!Parrulo said:Brilliant strategy by Horner!!!! The over 40 crowd is drooling all over him on the CN comments section.
BroDeal said:What this thread really needs is Dr. Coggan to show up and explain to everyone how this could be legit and suspicion is unwarranted.
Horner is an outlier, one of the greatest talents to ever swing a leg over a top tube.
