Bend’s Chris Horner on Wednesday released his biological passport on his website, chrishornerracing.com. He did it, according to the website, to “allow fans to feel confident in his victory at the Vuelta a España and the current state of the sport of cycling.”

Horner, 41, became the oldest cyclist ever to win a grand tour when he won the Spanish Vuelta earlier this month.

Horner released all of his biological passport results (39 tests in total), beginning with the inception of the UCI (International Cycling Union) biological program in 2008 and through his victory in Spain.

A biological passport is an individual, electronic record for professional athletes, in which profiles of biological markers of doping and results of doping tests are collated over a period of time.
