So you understand how the HTB posse feel about EFC?

99 positives for meldonium - Something has gone wrong.

99 positives for meldonium - Something has gone wrong.

Has anyone come out and said they didn't take it this year? Surely if they have that would confirm the fact it's lingering longer in people's systems than WADA thought.

Alternatively, athletes are stupid.

So many cheaters.

It's mind blowing really.

Almost like a joke or something.

I'll take the third option thanks. The code and its policing are a load of rubbish.

Entirely possible, but the stupidity of athletes shouldn't be discounted.

Hasnt been mentioned anywhere that I've seen, wondering if this stuff was also in widespread use within the AFL/NRL etc.

Probably just essendon. The other teams simply eat alot of lean protein and get lots of sleep.

Or socially acceptable illicit drugs. Not like the evil doping program at Essendon, just the lads out for a good time.

Interesting organisation, WADA.

They've finally caught a big fish even if they had to entrap her and 98 other athletes to do it.

Would not surprise if they don't follow up all of the athletes. Stick some of them in the of no consequence basket with Nathan Bock.

 

[yaco55]

Note that meldonium is more commonly known as Mildronate - Type Mildronate into the WADA database and nothing comes up.

I don't think athletes can categorically prove they took Meldonium before January 1 - Though this is probably irrelevant, seeing 100+ athletes could not made the same mistake and taken Meldonium after January 1.

Heaps would say "I checked this out and it was fine, i've been using it for years and i'm not a cheat". Especially coupled with the fact they may know the substance by a name other than provided in the update.

"But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.

I don't want to put a dampener on the whole wada are a bunch of pricks vibe, cos I get it, but... she was charged by the ITF and really wada haven't had anything to do with it. I mean, I get that you're talking about wada changing the rules but this happens all the time and it really is up to athletes to keep up under the current system.

I mean, we seem to be of the opinion on this board that all these poor Melodonium users are being persecuted but let's get real, they are abusing a diabetes drug, as fit young athletes, for a performance gain. Now I'm not one of the moralising wowsers about drugs, far from it, but you do have to draw a line somewhere and either you agree with that and therefore deal with where it's drawn, or you support open slather; I don't really see any other logical positions you can take, do you?

except that this drug isn't designed to be used for years, is it? From what I've read it's supposed to be used, by diabetics, in short stints yeah?

The Latvian company that manufactures meldonium says the normal course of treatment for the drug is four to six weeks – not the 10 years that Maria Sharapova says she used the substance.

• Meldonium is used to treat ischaemia: a lack of blood flow to parts of the body, particularly in cases of angina or heart failure.

• It is manufactured in Latvia and only distributed in Baltic countries and Russia. It is not approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States and is not authorised in the rest of Europe.

• It increases blood flow, which improves exercise capacity in athletes.

• Wada found “evidence of its use by athletes with the intention of enhancing performance” by virtue of carrying more oxygen to muscle tissue.

• The decision to add meldonium to the banned list was approved on 16 September 2015, and it came into effect on 1 January 2016. Wada had spent the previous year monitoring the drug before adding it to the banned list.

• The drug was name-checked in the latest investigative documentary on Russian doping reforms by the German Hajo Seppelt on Sunday. The documentary referred to a 2015 study in which 17% of Russian athletes (724 of 4,316) tested were found to have meldonium in their system. A global study found 2.2% of athletes had it in their system.

• L’Equipe reported that the scientific advisor to the French Agency Against Doping (AFLD), Professor Xavier Bigard, said in interviews with athletes at last year’s European Games in Baku that a wide proportion of athletes admitted taking meldonium.

• It is classed as an S4 substance under the Wada code, which addresses hormone and metabolic modulators.

• A memo was sent out to athletes by Russia’s anti-doping agency last September informing them of the decision to ban its use.

And it was widely used among Russian troops to enhance their stamina while fighting in Afghanistan.

Judging by the outcome of that misadventure...

You're mistaking me for somebody who is against off label use and concerned about so called "performance enhancement".

I really didn't need to eat all that spaghetti, I did it because I wanted to.
