Combined with our separate assessment of performance, the set-up provides a well-controlled but 'true-to-life' measure of both the potential ergogencity of these drugs, and their potential for increasing the risk of race crashes.

So, if you’re a highly trained cyclist based around the south-east, would like to contribute to WADA’s mission to protect athletes, promote the values of clean sport, and are interested in being a participant in this study, then please get in touch. @kent.ac.uk
Tramadol is a performance-enhancing drug in highly trained cyclists: a randomized controlled trial - PubMed
Tramadol is a potent narcotic analgesic reportedly used in multiple sports to reduce exertional pain and confer a performance advantage. This study sought to identify whether tramadol enhances perform...

However, in an addition to this, we will also be identifying whether these drugs impact how well a cyclist can control their bike (and therefore pose a risk to both the cyclist and their competitors). We’re using a very cool methodological set-up for this, which we’re very excited about.

As with the research we did with tramadol (which WADA used as an evidence piece to subsequently place tramadol on the Prohibited List in 2024 - pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37410900/), we will be looking at the potential performance enhancing effects of these drugs.
