As above, but without FB bullshit on it:

Tuaminoheptane
Gazzoli’s explanation is that he unintentionally ingested it after using a nasal spray bought independently at a pharmacy to treat a blocked nose. After hearing Gazzoli’s case, they have classified the anti-doping violation as unintentional.

Quintana apparently busted for tramadol usage

It’s not a doping offence.
-
• #8983
But it is prohibited from use in a competition like say, the Tour de France
-

Only by the UCI. One imagines that Quintana’s lawyers will be testing that at CAS soon.

Quintana’s lawyers will be testing that
What is there to test? The prohibition existed when he signed the start sheet. Any sports governing body is entitled to add to the list of proscribed substances where they see a need which is not met by the WADA list.

"disqualified from the Tour de France following the presence of Tramadol in two blood samples"
Just because it's not a WADA rule doesn't make it not doping. He was following UCI rules when he entered the race and failed UCI drug tests.

Swiss news sites RTS.ch and SRF.ch are reporting that 2021 vice-Olympic champion and 2021 World Cup overall series winner Mathias Flückiger has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for the anabolic substance Zeranol.
Swiss Cycling was notified of the potential anti-doping rule violation by Swiss Sport Integrity on Thursday afternoon. The in-competition test was carried out on June 5, 2022 at the Swiss Championships in Leysin, a race which Flückiger won for Thömus maxon Swiss Mountain Bike Racing.
In accordance with the Swiss Olympic doping statute, the 33-year-old has been provisionally banned with immediate effect and will not be competing in the European Championships on Friday. The B sample is still pending.
Flückiger was most recently in the news after his crash with Swiss teammate Nino Schurter on the last lap of their home race in Lenzerheide. The two crashed away from the cameras on the way to what would have been a double victory. Flückiger then missed Snowshoe and Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cups due to illness.

Can't use the dodgy meat excuse as it wasn't endogenous.
" And as I understand it his reaction suggests that he knows that he is guilty 😕"

I love it when you talk dirty to me.
How much testing happens in MTB compared to road?

How much testing happens in MTB compared to road?
The same rules apply, presumably the quantity of testing corresponds to the level and number of competitors as for road and track.

You were spot on. CAS have rejected his appeal.

• #8992
Freeman has lost his appeal re being struck off. Must be a few squeaky bums at BC now that the doping investigation will be restarted.

This has been a thing before. Can’t remember where I read it but apparently they give chickens the anti-oestrogen drug so they lay more eggs and it comes through in the eggs in minute quantities.

To the extent that WADA funded research into whether it was actually a thing
