WTF is norfenfluramine? I read the Wikipedia page but I'm none the wiser. A painkiller?

Stimulant - same stuff Maria Bastianelli was done for. I believe the standard defense is to claim it was as a result of taking weight-loss medication.

It's some sort of amphetamine-based appetite suppressant -a stimulant. Good luck on your job search, Aurélien.

Falls into the same WADA category of stimulants, but according to Bastianelli's CAS judgement it was norfenfluramine
