Real Madrid Release Statement Over Sergio Ramos Alleged Drug Test

The substance, named dexamethasone, is only allowed if the team doctor discloses it in their report.

Dexamethasone was used as a pain relief to issues that Ramos was experiencing in his shoulder and knee.

But the player’s paperwork made no mention of the drug that has been put down to an “administrative error.”

An official Real Madrid statement read: “1. Sergio Ramos has never breached the anti-doping control regulations.

“2. UEFA requested timely information and closed the matter immediately, as is usual in these cases, after verification by the experts themselves of the World Anti-Doping Agency, AMA, and of UEFA itself.

“3. Regarding the rest of the content of the aforementioned publication, the club does not pronounce itself before the evidence of its insubstantial nature.”
