And it was even announced quite clearly on RUSADA's site + in WADA letters/emails etc...

I would not be surprised to see Yuskov and Murashov's names tomorrow, or Yesin. My women's guess would be Voronina.

It's connected with enhancing performance. I really don't think all of a sudden a ton of major athletes turn out to have had heart problems.

doctors here say that it's a useless thing, just a placebo. it hepls to someone feel better after hard trainings and the only advantage is extremely low price

so why it got forbidden? why is it used if it is placebo? :), why in Russia?

i hate all "excuses" and i can`t understand people believing that dopers do it unwillingly or specific "x" in fact is a "placebo".

Russia goes deeper and deeper with doping scandal and in my opinion should be excluded for a year from all international competitions like world champs, continental champs and OG

yes, but there is sth like "Russian" sport and maybe only such a ban would help. There are cases when some feds are excluded, often because of some formal pressure by goverments (like in football) when players are also innocent. Tough call  but sth should be done

Its funny that he has been caught again. I always knew that he was still dirty, but a certain person in this forum (i dont have to name him) still cheered for him, saying that he is so fast because he has a superior technique. I said more than a year ago that he should stop doping, because he will otherwise get completely bald before turning 25 and now he wont have any other choice.

I hope that some german athletes will also get caught, but i doubt that they were "stupid" enough to take this drug.
