Truth. Going by much of the thread commentary though, it’s not so much about anti-doping or even the broader issues around doping.

Well this explains a few things, and here I thought Nino was getting old and slow (in context of racing at the pointy end of xco) 

I can just see Nino reading the local news over his kaffee und gipfeli this morning….😁

In this game, where there is smoke, there is almost definitely fire.

The shock and surprise of the audience is always funnier than the actual story.... Come now people, we cannot surely be surprised when these stories surface.😉

I am indifferent to Quintana and rules are rules

but why are pain meds banned during a race.

And here Ive seen some local dudes pop pain meds at local races

Simple solution take any meds that are not on the banned list. No excuses

You can do more damage to your body without realising it, pain is a way you body can tell you to stop

Tramadol causes drowsiness, so the same reason you are not supposed to drive or operate heavy machinery or perform dangerous activities. Now in a peloton prone to crashes you have someone drowsy.

Tramadol through the serotonin level increase can cause hyponatraemia, which is very very dangerous.
