You're assuming she wouldn't have had the success she did without the drugs. The drug didn't magically make her better than Serena.

• 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. 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.
It clearly didn't make her better than Serena ,but it made her compete with the rest of field better. All but one title occurred while she was on meldonium.

Whatever Djoke is using did make him better than everybody.
One of his countryman got busted. Another magically rose in the rankings at the same time as him. Now gone.
Tennis is doing its best mid-90's baseball.

Serena aint on nothing but cornbread.
I've talked with her face to face at a bar in Los Angeles. She may possibly a man, that's the only debate, because she has 100% taken steroids.
Maria tries to keep up and gets slammed with a 2 year ban.

I know Serena is a different genetic breed compared to most women, but it's extremely hard for a woman to be as lean and muscular as she is at her frame and weight biologically. Not to mention that most tennis athletes you see are most likely on some form of PED's. It's much more rapid professional sports than the average person who's uneducated about steroids would realize. There's also many ways to get around a drug test, with politics playing into it as well.

This is why I can't take tennis seriously anymore. Sharapova getting suspended is fine, but allowing Serena to get away with refusing to take her tests and even to the point of calling the cops when the tester comes to her house shows the joke that the WTA has become.

Used to increase blood flow to muscles.
She definitely went out of her way to take this and thought it was kosher because it was so obscure.
Until WADA caught on a few years ago...WADA began analyzing urine samples among athletes and found that, out of 8,320 random individuals, 182 tested positive for Meldonium.

It's actually standard in sports governed by WADA.
