You think they did fail to "pick it up"?Benotti69 said:It is a wonder that Sky the masters of detail didn't pick up Mick Rogers heart problems............
The 36-year-old, who started his career with Mapei-Quickstep in 2001, was diagnosed with a malformation of the aortic valve at the start of his career.
But now, cardiac examinations identified heart arrhythmia, meaning he must bring an end to his 16-year career, ending his time at Tinkoff.

Some Arrhythmia's can come on later in life so it's possible Rogers didn't have it while at Sky.
Or yeah they missed it

I'm sure he does, along with Froome, Thomas, Wiggins, Heano, JTL and every other rider who can be a GT if they want to...

No, tramadol is on the watch list though.
Also is GW1516 banned?

That will always have the most recent version of the list and the monitoring program.
GW1516 has been on the prohibited list since 2009. There is a test for it, not sure of the detection window.
samhocking said:As Rogers has stated: He has a congenital heart defect he's born with, and his condition began to deteriorate last year and was detected before the Tour Down Under, and he was pulled from the race by Tinkoff out of caution. He now has arrhythmia. Trying to blame lack of detection on a team is stupid, blaming it on doping even more stupid without any facts other than the condition itself.
