Sergio Ramos Responds Angrily to Insinuations of Wrongdoing in Alleged Doping Case

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has taken to Twitter to firmly deny suggestions that he failed a drugs test after the 2017 Champions League final in Cardiff.

It had been reported that Ramos had tested positive for anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone, a substance which is banned if testers are not notified of its use.

German outlet Der Spiegel had reported that doping control officers were informed that Ramos had taken a different anti-inflammatory substance ahead of the game. However, the Real Madrid star has now responded to the issue on Twitter.
