Doctor: meldonium effective only in individual sports where you have to win a fraction of a second – Soviet Sport

Honored Doctor of Russia, the head physician of many years of “Locomotive” Alexander Yardoshvili believes that the tennis player Maria Sharapova for the use meldonium need to forgive.

– meldonium held in the body up to three months. Sharapova does not hide that use the drug, and to do it systematically. Since January 1, it is forbidden WADA, however, the athlete could theoretically take it in November 2015 and to hand over a positive doping test in January. This is not entirely correct. Prohibition meldonium had to announce in advance. There are drugs that are rapidly cleared from the body, other pharmacological agents are kept in the body up to six months. So I think that Sharapova had nothing to do, and the proceedings will be a positive result. It must understand and limit warning, or the minimum disqualification – said “Izvestia” Yardoshvili. I use it in your work? This is a fairly sensitive information, but I confess that there is in recent years. Football – it is a team sport. And drugs such as meldonium, are effective only in individual sports where you have to win a fraction of a second or sustain more severe physical stress than your opponent. it is not necessary in collective forms.

March 7th Russian tennis player Maria Sharapova at the emergency press conference in Los Angeles, said that the only warning was contained in a letter from the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), to which it did not pay attention, until in March 2016 it had not received a letter from the ITF that in her doping sample taken during the performance at the Australian Open, the traces of the banned drug was found – meldonium.
