Chris Horner has asthma. Therefore, he is delusional.

"On the last stage of Tour de l'Ain, the symptoms reappeared and were
significantly worse than what I had experienced before. Amid the
intensity of the last climb, combined with the effort of trying to
hold on to the race lead on the final day, the symptoms seemed to be
magnified ten-fold from what I had previously felt in training. After
talking to the team doctor following the race, he recommended that I
fly directly to Belgium for an asthma test. With the Tour of Spain
coming up very quickly, Dag, our team doctor, didn't want to take any
chances with my breathing before the big race"

"In Belgium, I met with a specialist who put me through an allergy
test as well as an asthma test. After only three rounds of the asthma
"provocation" test, I had lost 26 percent of my breathing capacity and
my wheezing could be heard across the room. The doctor stopped the
test, and immediately diagnosed me with asthma. I had considered
asthma as a possible cause for my symptoms from the beginning, but the
diagnosis was still surprising! However, I was relieved to have a
concrete answer for what I had been experiencing, since that gave me a
real problem to work on and ways to solve it. Dag immediately filed
the paperwork for what's known as a "therapeutic use exemption" with
the UCI, hoping that I could get approval to start the necessary
asthma medication before the Tour of Spain began."

These mother ****ers. Sport is suppose to emulate war to create a
public display of desirable genetics so that those superior genes can
be spread throughout the gene pool disproportionately high. ****ers
like Horner (and many others) would not be able to win in any sport in
pre-modern times and thus their genes would have died off with them.

Towel yourself off Brangelina. Don't you find it a bit strange that
he's been racing for 20+ years at the highest levels and he's just now
diagnosed with asthma? Sounds like lazy doctoring to me or a tailored
diagnosis. Did they even do the allergy test? An allergic reaction is
the first rule-out since asthma can be triggered by one - Especially
in a guy without a history. Please.

I'm glad for Horner though - if all these other dopers are hitting
their ventolin pipes all day then he might as well too. He's been at a
disadvantage for not having one and this race will dictate his
contract terms. Hell, I hope he pulls out the "Martha Olympic Year
Prep Kit" and lights up those little ****ing climbing gerbils at the
Vuelta.

"Amid the intensity of the climb..."...that says it all. At 37, and getting
stale....Chrissy is just trying to secure some bacon so he can make sure Megan
keeps opening up the hangar doors to the lunchpail to dock with the LEM.

Yes they did the test. No comment

It could be for very good reason Shimano doesn't have a wireless version of
DI2 yet. Think of the scene in Breaking Away when the Italian reaches over
and dumps Dave Stoller's bike into high gear on the climb.
