Lost asteroid clue to Pioneer puzzle

This article; "Lost asteroid clue to Pioneer puzzle" talks about what has become known as the "Pioneer Anomaly". The Pioneer spacecraft is about 400,000 miles off from the course that would be expected, based on known forces.

I have been following this story for a long time now, so I will be very interested to see what happens if they are able to study asteroids in the outer Solar System to see if they seem to be acting like the Pioneer spacecraft.
