I think it's more likely that he (and the others) are lying and that they took it after 1 January.. I mean, there are also studies showing that meldonium is only detectable for a few days, certainly not for 2 months, so it's hard to believe these excuses If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

I mean, there are also studies showing that meldonium is only detectable for a few days, certainly not for 2 months, so it's hard to believe these excuses yeah sure. I´m not trying to defend him, just explaining what I noticed on our medias about the case. The fact is he was caught, so thats all. I remember his coach said he will not start at ECh this year and focusing for Zrenjanin and the european olympic qualifiers, because as his coach said he is in the shape of his life..so that´s even bit weird for us. but well, what can we do?

Майкл 542 Posted April 2, 2016 #88 Share Posted April 2, 2016 There're way more dangerous substances than meldonium, but oh well... opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt about it, but it was announced months before that it would be banned, it was on the watch list for a longer time already and everyone was warned a million times. In my opinion athletes who are still caught are either extremely, incredibly, horribly stupid with the IQ of a mosquito, or simple cheaters. Both aren't really good.

Most of those who were tested positive are amongst the top athletes and they probably didn't even pay attention what pills they were taking... They're probably too lazy to check the list themselves and that's why they trust their doctors more than they should, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
