As far as I know the test doesn't measure active meldonium but products of decomposition. Meldonium itself is out of your system after a week or something but the other stuff can be traced for several months, how long exactly is still up for debate. Funny how every athlete is asthmatic, has heart diseases, needs insulin etc. doctors who stuff the faces of athletes with all kinds of dope should get banned from working along with the busted athletes. Perhaps we could clean up pro sports a little that way
Aye Rums, you know we both have that big job interview tomorrow. You tryin to smoke tonight?:rasta:smoke They should still hire us. I got this stuff that you can drink and it'll help mask the weed. Only a trace amount might still be in our system when we get tested. They should still hire our high asses.
It's a substance created by a guy named Igor and only manufactured in Latvia, apparently. I'm sure good Dr. Igor worked his entire life to invent something to ease the suffering of Latvians only to have his creation fall into the wrong hands. His great contribution to medical science just happens to have a side effect of turning Russian boxers into Ivan Drago. Personally, I'd ban any substance invented by anyone named Dr. Igor, especially if it's only made in Latvia.
In all seriousness, I am 5 for 6 on passing drugs tests. The one I failed came unexpectedly when I was young and dumb. The other 5, I had smoked herb between 8 and 12 hours prior to testing, and passed them all. It's a bit trickier these days because the masking products are illegal to sell in New Jersey now, but not impossible to get a hold of them still. As one of the comedians used to say (I think Dennis Leary maybe?), if I'm high at work and they don't know, that's their fault and they shouldn't be able to test for it. :smoke
I find it really harsh that you guys have to do drug tests in many jobs. If my boss even entertained the idea of sniffing into my private life, I'd probably knock him out.
It's sold in pharmacies to treat cardio/heart problems, I'm not sure whether its adoption by athletes has anything to do with the creator of the drug himself.
