Default Methadone - Effects?

"Lotto-Domo's Christophe Brandt, who tested positive for methadone in
this year's Tour de France"

What are the performance enhancing properties of methadone, if any?
I thought it was used to ween people off heroin? Is it perhaps useful for
pain-killing allowing a rider to continue during/after injury?

cheers!

No performance benefit.....this is Brandt's new evidence.
