I got nerged on the Vuelta thread for being flippant and suggesting Horner's performance could be good old fashioned blood doping.
Reasons to be suspicious that Horner might risk blood doping at this point in his career;
1/ A rider with Horner's profile (not much recent racing, even less winning) will have had relatively few tests through training.
2/ He may see his career ending. He may (like Hincapie did) foresee a few truths about to surface and want to go out with a bang.
3/ With no contract for next year, poor results and being a bit long in the tooth his future is looking uncertain and the mortgage needs paying.
