Ángel Rodríguez

Ángel Rodríguez began competing in the Spanish championship of minibikes at age ten and was the champion in his first year. He was able to retain the title in the following two seasons and in 1998 disputed the Aprilia Cup and the championship of Spain of 125 cc.

The Spanish Motorcycling Federation (RFME) reported that the pilot tested positive in an anti-doping test during the Spanish Speed Championship (CEV), held in 2009 at the Albacete circuit. The second test was also positive. The RFME did not want to clarify the type of substance consumed by the pilot.

In a sport where physical resistance is not decisive in obtaining optimum results, where victories are based on the mastery and technical solvency of the rider and his motorcycle, it is unusual for a rider to resort to doping. Strange, more when a case of doping is made public but the illegal substance is not provided.
