in rare circumstances it goes the other way too

While I don't condone sharapova I do wonder why a drug created for heart problems was completely banned. Melodinium is meant to taken in 4-6week batches, a maximum of 3 times a year. If pros are still allowed to take steroids for colds with a TUE, then why can't athletes diagnosed with a heart problem be allowed to have CONTROLLED (in caps so you all don't get excited) access to this?
