Still no contract news on Horner? lol, poor guy. Finally wins the by far biggest race of his life, and suddenly he's toxic as ****.

Libertine Seguros said:Unfortunately for him, he comes with the stench of Armstrong on him. His public image should have been toxic from the moment he won País Vasco, to be honest, but the longer it's gone on and he's got better and better, what had been "great to see an older guy finally get to the top after years hidden away in the domestic calendar" is now "seriously, does he not realise just how stupid this looks from the outside?!"
FoxxyBrown1111 said:It´s good to see that this vuelta win didn´t fool anyone (not the press, not the fans, not the teams). Late revenge for his TdF omerta tactics on Hincapie, his toxic passport, and his shameless interviews. Hope Tygart is still after this "redacted rider".
But give the guy one last conti contract. The testers need more chances for a positive, before he can be finally thrown into the ash heap of cycling history...

Sure i hate Horner, but not more than "Hog" or others who hate shameless dopers...
FoxxyBrown1111 said:Of course, and that makes the less cynics like me angry. That´s the reason Horner has to be punished, so that the young see they can´t be sure of making a career by cheating only.

Especially as everyone else is still using.
MarkvW said:Horner is pure omerta, yet he's not getting a tiny bit of love from the peloton. That's got to taste so sour for him.
He's going to write a book--and it's going to be a good one!!

Benotti69 said:Wonder did his chasing down GH on Champs E'lysse pi$$ off the peloton?
sublimit said:that stunt was about showing off his crit skills... like his "big" results back in USA club racing before he came to Europe
IndianCyclist said:Any news on Horner's team?
Fortyninefourteen said:Team USADA....
Seriously though heard a rumor about United Healthcare, but who knows. Surprised not with Lampre or Vini....
You really think that 42 year old Horner rode the 2nd fastest ascent of Angliru ever on less dope than Froome?thehog said:It's a shame cyclists can't tell the truth..... otherwise he could say:
"Look why can't you hire me? I'm only on a traditional program of blood bags and microdosing EPO. What about Froome? He must be on the full package of Gas6, AiCAR, EPO and transfusions. If he can ride then so should I"

Horner might have a tad more talent, but nonetheless, to perform at this level at his age I'm sure he's on a full package too.
