wada investigating a drug found in samples at bahrain victorious at last years tdf, the drug is not on the banned list yet but is a muscle relaxant for MS etc and works by blocking pain nerve impulses to the brain.

Well, that's an odd one. Letrozole is used to counteract side effects of anabolic steroid abuse. I wonder if Baloise Trek Lions have money to test wherever he was staying 17-19 January to look for contamination.

I expect this will pan out like the Betsema case. Dodgy supplements or he'll find someone he knows being treated for breast cancer.

Most likely a testosterone (or other aromatizing steroid) cycle (hehehe) - letrozole is used to combat elevated levels of estrogen/estradiol. What's interesting it is a nuclear option which will kill your estrogen - used when Milder stuff is not enough

"As this is a first offence, Nairo Alexander Quintana Rojas is not declared ineligible and can therefore participate in competitions."

Using tramadol is an offence only under the UCI Medical Rules due to the side-effects of the substance which include dizziness, drowsiness and loss of attention. They do not constitute Anti-Doping Rule Violations.
