Sorry Sharapova, but it doesn't matter if you did it intentionally or not. Not knowing something that you should know can't be used as an excuse.

 

She handled this whole thing with the IQ of a rat :roflmao:

 

She even went on Facebook saying the tribunal clearly said she didn't take it intentionally/to enhance performance, yet that is the conclusion in the end..

Like it when for the same doping Lepchenko got 3 months ban(and got amnesty after that) and for Sharapova - 2 years. No politics, as usual.

I'm not familiar with Lepchenko's case, but can you give me some link where she says she used it after it became illegal? (Like Sharapova did, which was the reason for her two year ban)

And it's the real reason. Lepchenko said just NOTHING. Usual ITF politics - no words, no ban.

www.tennis.com/pro-game/2016/05/lepchenko-refuses-comment-alleged-positive-meldonium-test/58705/

For other links - it can be googled  "lepchenko meldonium"

Anyway, it's strange to answer 'no comment' instead of 'I'm not guilty', isn't it?

Nope, its not. The difference is Sharapova was so incredibly stupid to immediately admit she used it after it became illegal. Basically all other caught athletes say they stopped using it before January (or said nothing), that's a huge difference.

 

Sharapova admitted she took banned substances, most others didn't (not just American Lepchenko, also a ton of Russians).

IMHO it's really interesting(strange) when person gets positive results for the test, and the verdict goes not just for that, but for time of using that doping. Maybe, WADA were suprised a bit when they had known that meldonium could be found even after 3 months after using of it.

Anyway, situation with doping becomes more and more complicated, unfortunately for all the world sport.

That last bit is true and it does seem like WADA made some big mistakes in the whole meldonium thing. That still doesn't change that Sharapova admitted using banned substances and the others did not :)

The real thing is "did not admit". Who knows, how many players said nothing and were lucky enough that meldonium hadn't been found in their tests(if it worked as usual, 3-6 hours before disappearing if I'm not mistaken)

:USA Gwen Berry (hammer throw) - Vilanterol Trifenatate

The weird thing in the whole story is that her 3 month ban ends just 2 days before the US trials.

so we have Dr.Fuentes back in action, possibly no sanctions for the athletes caught cheating but at least we're going to "officially" know some of their names...

I'm not sure that this time we can say "justice has been done"...:mumble::facepalm:

    • Italy will boycott the Azeri stage for protest against the international federation.
    • Likely for Tannheimer, quite unlikely for Galmace Paulin. She's far from being assured to even start in the WC before turning 20. Basically she'd have to get a spot this season, which could actually happen if she takes the extra-ticket at the JWCH. Anyway I don't see her making her way to gold in Oslo. Tänglander has a few seasons to do it, we'll see.       Quite surprisingly so, indeed. Barring her horrendous finish Richard would have made it 2 in one go. We should have some more names in the list in 2025.
    • There are some of Slovakia's finest young squads at the World Juniors in recent years
    • Alpine skiing also we have a lot of problems: the men's team is very weak and has been winning a few podiums a season for several years and the our best skier- Dominik Paris is 35. We still have a strong women's team but 3 of the 4 leaders are over 30 (Goggia, Brignone, Curtoni) and Bassino is 28. Another 2 years and we will have the same problem as the men's. There is basically no cross-country skiing without Pellegrino for many years, biathlon is based on 2 individuals with one of them has a 35 years. Vittozzi's injury was enough and we haven`t a single podium this season after 3 stages of the World Cup. As for 1 year to the home games the situation isn`t optimistic.
    • Hail to the Reds... Commanders. First time since 1991 Washington QB has thrown 5 TD passes in a game (which isn't all that improbable in the modern game alas Dan Snyder...)    
    • Italy is much better in alpine skiing, in The end all Nations have a Limited Talent Pool. Norway is far better than Sweden/Finland in Cross-Country skiing, alpine skiing and Biathlon, but Sweden/Finland are far better in ice Hockey.  Great Britain wins far more medals than Germany At Summer olympics, but GB is also inexistant in Winter Sports and Most popular Team Sports (Volleyball, Handball, Basketball, Ich Hockey).  
    • Thanks, great stat! Tannheimer wont turn 20 until August 2025, so she has The whole Season To Join Kristiansen and Neuner. Too Bad that she was ill this week. I think Galmace Paulin and Tänglander could also do it. I think Grotian (born 2004) is The First female Biathlete born after 1999 To make a World Cup Podium. On The Mens side multiple Athletes (Perrot, Giacomel, Uldal) have already done it.   E. Öberg was 22 and a half when she First won.  Dahlmeier was 21 and a half.   Edit: Grotian only narrowly missed The Podium in The Individual at The 2024 World Championships when she was still  19 year old.
