De_Gambassi 1,223 Posted March 9, 2016 #40 Share Posted March 9, 2016 http://www.wired.com/2016/03/meldonium-became-doping-drug-choice/ Quote "The chair of Grendiks’ (Meldonium's manufacturer) board of supervisors, Kirovs Lipmans, is also president of the Latvian Hockey Federation and an executive member of the Latvian Olympic Committee. His dual role as a Latvian sports official and director of a company that produces a performance-enhancing drug raised eyebrows with at least one US anti-doping official. “It’s weird,” says the official, on background." "It's weird" . Euphemism of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
