Anna mentioned doping at the briefing. Apparently a pack of tramadol was discovered on the course of the ht500 after the first 10 riders had gone through.

I was thinking, who would want to pop a tramadol, turns out USADA have a whole article with a focus on why cyclists love it

Not banned by WADA though but was by the UCI a couple of months a go for context on if its a PED

Well, inevitably someone mentions doping on that Antoine Vayer thread, as well. I don't blame them, but for the time being I'm inclined to believe that this sport is still clean. And let's not forget that many men will find it hard to accept that all the men were beaten by a woman.
