Chris Horner looks like a clean rider to me,wtf this guy has been around since ice age and never been caught doping so he's got to be clean.
 
One big problem there is no dates attached to the individual points

44.8 14.9 1.11
For example, this entry is a little unusual.
One of his highest HGB/HCT and the absolute highest ret%

With a date to correlate what he was doing at that time (say an altitude training camp) maybe there is an explanation

If it happened to be in the middle of a race, then there is a different explanation.

This entry
38.7 13.1 0.96

Lowest HGB/HCT and middle ret%

Was is during/towards the end of a GT ? If so then its perfectly plausible.
If its during a different time period, again there could be a different explanations.

I ain't buying a spread between 45 and 38 Hct for starters... and yes, without dates is as good as useless.

He says in the article that the "45,3 - 15,1 - 0,70" one was pre 2011 tour and the worst HGB ones have been usually after GTs, but yeah no dates unfortunetly.

Anyways with HCT 42 +-3 and HGB 14 +-1...I think he was going with the "no way I can be doped with blood so ridiculously bad" argument here more than anything. Maybe also show his potential. Over the years he has mentioned multiple times in his blog how he has like the worst blood in entire pro peleton, so it was interesting to finally see those numbers he likes trashing so much :p
