Get a star. Who besides Sharapova caught mildronat
March 7 at 23:00 Moscow time, Maria Sharapova gave a press conference at which today announced positive doping sample , taken at Australian Open- 2016. After five minutes at the end of her speech was the news in the top of the world’s media. Barely waking up from the shocking recognition of one of the most influential female athletes of the world, all sports and tennis community has been trying to place punctuation in the phrase “Eats, Blogs” from the Soviet cartoon “The country of unlearned lessons”. “Championship” Revision studied these opinions
The first thing that caught my eye in the analysis of titles and materials in the foreign press, -. That the majority of journalists still prefer to maintain a neutral position on this issue and even the most avid lovers express their opinion froze in anticipation of events, quoting from social networks or official statements.
still, there are those who already took the opposite flank in the doping war. While some understood that such mildronat and shorthand small and concise speech Sharapova, others have found in this public statement feigned theatrical, pretense and skillful trick, referring unattractive venue for the press conference, a black dress and excused it with not very relevant joke about the carpet. Here are all remembered, and that even if the drug and is freely available, then, first in Eastern Europe, Maria – a high class athlete and should see to it that gets in her body (she does not deny) and, secondly, from childhood living in America. Flank angry urged not to react to the cunning PR-moves ex-first racket of the world team and in any case it does not justify the action. In contrast to this view, there are those who understand the importance of tennis players of this level for today’s women’s tennis, recalls her dedication to the sport and debit happened on ridiculous mistake.
Newspaper New York Times , paying tribute to and achievements of athletes, yet first of all points out that the preparation of Latvian origin, intended for patients with heart disease, are not allowed for sale in the United States. The publication immediately recalls those recently caught on the use of this medication – the Swedish athlete of Ethiopian origin Abeba Aregawi , which won the distance of 1500 m at the World Championships in 2013 and the figure skater Ekaterina Bobrova , which won the bronze medal of Europe-2016 championship in ice dancing in tandem with Dmitry Solovyov
Richard Ings , former chief executive of the Australian anti-doping sport organization, said on Monday: “The curious story that Sharapova missed a letter stating that the product was included in the prohibited list, but she in fact a great team. She megastar. Came the end of the talk about the fact that tennis does not have the courage to deal with such cases ».
There are also two more opinions. Kelly Sotherton , British semiborka and a runner on 400m wrote in his Twitter account: “I am more than sure that I will go into a similar story athlete, no one would particularly think about justice, unlike the case with Sharapova “. Steve Simon, executive director of the WTA: «Maria deserves a lot of respect for the professionalism and class that she has shown, admitting his mistake. But I think that the sport is no exception to the great, and there is no athlete, who would not be subject to the general rule. ” “Sharapova has dealt a blow to women’s tennis and it is not clear whether she would play again” – so ends the author of an article
British The Guardian : «It has long attracted. attention to his model looks, sometimes distracting her from the game. But in contrast to, for example, by compatriot Anna Kournikova, who was more interested in celebrity get-together than tennis, Sharapova always fully devoted herself to the sport, that only added to her popularity among fans and advertisers ».
Material conservative enough, is accompanied by a quote President OFWs Shamil Tarpishchev that the chance to play the Olympics still there, but there is and fly in the ointment in the form of tweets Judy Murray , which alludes to the fact that, say , and more beautiful carpets she Bring: “If I wanted to announce his retirement from the sport, that’s for sure would not be here in Los Angeles, the hotel with the terrible carpet.” Standards. »

Tennis.com allows multiple materials, including a chronology of events, where only the facts, and news, which featured a review Jennifer Capriati , the ex-first racket of the world. The American, formerly which had problems with the law and care because of this from the sport on Monday in his Twitter account to express their point of view: “I am angry and disappointed in recognition Sharapova, who used illicit drug. She said she took meldonium 10 years. I had to finish my career and I never let anyone deceived nor on what occasion. Although I have suffered greatly. I have never been an expensive team that would try to circumvent the system. ” 39-year-old Capriati – winner of three Grand Slam and an Olympic gold medal in 14 years reached the top 10, becoming the youngest athlete conquered the top in the ranking. In 2012 he became a member of the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
Sports Illustrated does Maximized interview with lawyer Maria Sharapova John Haggerty , in which he talks about all the extenuating circumstances, they try . used in this situation
Channel ESPN freed broadcasting network for broadcasting performances Sharapova, and the magazine’s website and then released, and great stuff, we present excerpts from it: “Sports world no longer be the same again after the recognition of the greatest stars, failing a doping test. It is easy to talk about those who have never obeyed records and the top of it can be attributed to envy, a cry of despair and the opportunity to compete with the best, albeit dishonest way. But such recognition Champions forced to check on the respect of colleagues on the shop floor strength and devotion of fans.
For many years around the tennis anti-doping program went weak unconfirmed rumors about the hidden positive samples. As a fact, doping problems constantly arise in the world and the national sport, but tennis remained outside the major scandals that sometimes, someone was caught, but it was more bait, small fish, and not a “big catch”, please on the network.
His recent doping tests of Croatian tennis players piled Marin Cilic , the champion of US Open-2014 and Serbia Victor Troicki . One was suspended for 9 months, the second – at 12. But Maria Sharapova – sportswoman another level. Rossiyanka, which is in the top 10 of the world rankings, won all the tournaments, “Grand Slam” on time, and the “Roland Garros” twice, for 11 consecutive years, earned the most, according to Forbes magazine.
Complaining and angry, you can not help but admire her character, the tenacity with which she fought for every point, even when the match seemed to have lost. Sharapova did not wait for the ball on the back of the line, she took the initiative in their hands, and broke the silence, came out to the press. Maria took the blame on himself that disregarded the updated list of banned drugs the WADA, which exists ostensibly to protect the rights and interests of the athletes.
Although her performance is unlikely to help her break with this hook and avoid punishment. WADA in this regard has always been very strict and principled. Failure to read the fine print does not relieve from responsibility. Moreover, Mary is smart enough and rich enough to hire someone who would control all these questions. Until now, all striking that none of her team did not pay attention to the updated list. Sharapova became the seventh athlete, got on this drug for 10 weeks of the introduction of meldonium (mildronata) Prohibited List. Most caught -. Representatives from Eastern Europe
Something can be attributed to the wrong physician leadership, something on the neglect of WADA letters, some will be more principled and resolute in his opinion, the other – soft and will justify her. In any case, the tennis will pass a serious test. »

When I worked with Andy Murray, he was once afraid to use nose drops, because the top-level players checked every week, and sometimes twice. But you have to hand it to her, she had the courage to come out and admit it openly. Serena and Maria – megazvёzdy, would be a shame to lose it in such a way, all of course depends on the court’s decision, but, apparently, it can be the end of his career »

Well, she spoke to the press, but I do know that a large part of the tour concerned that eating and even tournaments choose those dishes, which are difficult to add anything.
