  • Everyone (rich people) are on everything that isn't on wadas list, and more.
    Don't think (IMO) many people are taking stuff on wada banned list, only poor people and idiots.

    The meldonium scandals proved that.
    The real good drugs aren't banned, because they're not known about or so expensive.

    They're not banned by name, but there's a catch-all ban on anything which has the same effects as something which is banned by name. If you invent a new molecule which binds to the erythropoietin receptor, it's banned even though it's not the same molecule as any of the previously known molecules which bind to the erythropoietin receptor.

  • Ah interesting.

    So why wasn't meldonium 'banned' then. It was clearly performance enhancing and it was being tested for?
