meldonium is not the same as doping/steroids

It's all political. There are similar drugs used in the U.S. that do similar things. They aren't banned. They knew many Russian athletes were using Meldonium. The U.S. and Russia aren't getting along right now. So the U.S. pulled some strings with the W.A.D.A which is basically a Western puppet sports doping authority, to get Meldonium banned, knowing a ton or Russian athletes were using it.

 

If it doesn't do **** all why take it?
If it is performance enhancing then it should be banned, end of.

Of course its a PED why would these idiots persist taking it when it was getting banned and they were warned a mile out?

 

whose career is over again?

 

If you take a certain amount it can boost performance
Povetkin is a cheating bum

 

Completely agree with this statement. Night and day. BS reason not to hold the fight.

 

right so if its a Russian who is cheating, its ok.

 

You racist **** are such a pathetic, misarble POS - it genuinely makes me laugh.

 

Lol at calling Meldonium a supplement, it's a pharmaceutical medicine for people with heart conditions, not a supplement.

Now the efficacy of Meldonium as a performance enchancer is debatable but WADA banned it because so many people were using it as a performance enhancer. 124 athletes have so far been caught that's a lot of athletes with heart conditions or a lot of people trying to get an advantage by taking a pharmaceutical medicine.

 

well it enhances your performance so in a way it is

 

:bart
I tell my girl that eating ain't cheating:rofl:yep:yep

Further proof that it's a PED and that he took it after it was banned ..

 

Povetkin can concoct a story to explain this:

He failed a urine test. He can say he heard about boxers drinking their urine in training, and claim that instead of drinking his own urine that he was drinking someone else's, and it was a Russian PED cheat who had been taking meldonium.

Problem solved.

 

Meldonium is used to increase blood flow and carry more oxygen to muscles, thereby enhancing stamina, a trait boxers would want in a long fight.
