For those wondering why MvdP didn’t really feature at the Tour this year, here’s some insight.

Of course NQ will deny ever using it or knowledge of how it got into his system.

The next joke is that tramadol falls under the uci’s medical regulations and not the anti doping regulations, so he can continue racing, but gets dq’d from the race (TDF) where tested positive.

Sounds like something from a “Better call Saul” episode

I googled it and it seems Tramidol (opioid) is banded because it might cause motor skills issues. Not so smart to take if you ride in a pelotons of nearly 200 people.

This peer-reviewed, but limited, study shows pretty significant performance benefits in a 20min TT:

Interestingly, and perhaps counter-intuitively, it did not show mental function decline under these specific testing conditions, but I would not want to ride in a peloton on Tramadol. It feels pretty strange that it is not a WADA banned substance.

As a pain killer, I would imagine that TT's were faster because they didn't feel the burn and could push harder.
Performance enhancing, from that point of view.
