I have no idea, I was only referring to the official information released concerning the particular incident, and my wife’s professional experience of the drug referred to.

Tramadol? Doping scandals aren't what they used to be.
Yeah, I know it's serious, but come on. Bring back the soigneurs with suitcases full of stuff, I say.

Or rather, they're exactly what they used to be before the effective red blood cell boosters and hormones came along. Tales of literally dopey cyclists of the 1980s and early 90s, out of their skulls on cocktails of painkillers, sleeping drugs and alcohol, doing really stupid things like jumping out of first floor windows, are plentiful.
Nairoman really is an old school cycle racer, isn't he?
He's denying using it which is tricky to prove if it's in his blood ...not that I know much about this kind of stuff. My life is 90% drowsy blur but beer isn't on the banned list as far as I know!
His best defence might be that it's not on WADAs banned list.

Ok I'm no expert...but I've taken Tramadol for pain relief.Im no pro though (well I could of been if I wanted) Cycling is about suffering so I'm guessing if you've taken it for gains,to not suffer,muscle relaxant etc and it's on a banned list it's wrong....
There again this is Nairoman 😲
More important is who Arkea got to take his place 😁

No substitute for Nairo Quintana on Arkea's Vuelta team. They'll start with 7 riders.Are you free?
Possibly not the best phrase Amanda Spratt could have used - starts to wonder about Trek

Careful: I posted something similar about Jumbo linking WVA's climbing with Vingegaard's comments in his final press conference about the team's wonderful "preparation" methods and a few on here got really upset!
It's probably safest to assume that the current cohort of riders are ignorant of the loaded language associated with past dopers.
