At LVVP they said it was the silicon content of dual/triple compound tyres that cause the problem, and according to ChainReaction Luganos are a silica compound. Also not a slick so wouldn't want to risk it on wood.
When I got my track bike (second hand) it was shod with Schwalbe Ones, a top of the range road tyre, but triple compound. These had very little grip and squirmed and squealed on the boards at LVVP before I gave up and use a hire bike for the rest of the session and have since changes to track specific tyres (Vittoria Diamante Pro Pista).
Can't comment on outdoor/tarmac velodromes as I have only ridden them on hire/season bikes.

I'll repost this here which seems more appropriate:
Are black or black with cream walls Schwalbe lugano accepted in velodromes? I read that Vittoria, Schwalbe and continental are the recommended brands as long as they're not coloured. But luganos are double compound afaik. And what about any other single compound black tyres? Are they really that picky in velodromes in general, London in particular? Tnx
