Career

Ramos rode the road race at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro,[2] but a few days after the race it was revealed that he had tested positive for doping in a pre-games test.[3]

Doping case

On 12 August 2016 the UCI announced that Ramos was provisionally suspended after a doping sample of his from 31 July 2016 had been found positive for CERA.[3] He was later given a four-year ban, and is suspended until August 2020.
