Maria Sharapova had been taking Meldonium since 2006. Her family doctor had prescribed it for her irregular EKGs, magnesium deficiency, and a family history of diabetes
Alright, nothing wrong there.
I read up on this story when it first came out.
1) Why the hell did she go to a Russia/Eastern European doctor for her problem? I find it complete bullshite on one of her first trip to Russia she gets a doctor to prescribe her something in a place where she doesn't even live.
2) You cant get Meldonium legally in the USA. The only way you can get it is through some sketchy looking websites. She essential smuggled it in the USA.
3) Finally her dosage,
quote:
Maria said she has been taking it for 10 years. Manufacturers said the normal dosage is four to six weeks, every now and again. Was Maria closer to the latter?
A) That’s exactly right, she did not take it every day. The manufacturer said four to six weeks, two to three times a year, or as recommended by her doctor. Her course of treatment was certainly more along those lines than taking it every day for 10 years.
bullshite.... She knew exactly why she was taking it

Waiting for Serena's doping test.
I hate to break it to you but this isn't going to happen. We had this debate of the forums and Serena William is one of the most test athletes in the world. She may be a bitch but she doesn't cheat.
I do find hilarious how Maria Sharapova got caught cheating. How the hell are you going to cheat for 10 years and still get your arse whooped?

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.

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.

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.
