Spanish Vuelta winner Chris Horner’s team will seek compensation from anti-doping authorities after news of an alleged missed random dope test was leaked to the media.
RadioShack said Spanish Anti-Doping Agency officials went to the wrong hotel looking for the American rider, despite having been given details of his correct whereabouts.
The team issued a statement with a screenshot of Horner’s email to the United States Anti-Doping Agency in which he updated his whereabouts for yesterday, the day after his triumph in the Spanish grand tour.
“Chris Horner updated his whereabouts with USADA before the start of the final stage, giving the agency the name of his hotel for the night, phone number and room number for his one-hour window between 6 and 7am. This is all according to the rules and Chris Horner received a confirmation email,” RadioShack said.
“The anti-doping inspectors from the Spanish Anti-Doping Agency that were asked to do the test by the USADA showed up at the wrong hotel in Madrid, where the team was staying but Horner was obviously not to be found.”
Riders are obliged to provide their whereabouts to anti-doping authorities, specifying their location for one hour each day.
“The team asks the media to report correctly on this matter and will seek compensation for this matter with the responsible anti-doping agencies,” it said.
Horner, who turns 42 next month, became the oldest grand tour champion and the first US winner of the Vuelta.
