She could be f*cked http://tass.ru/en/sport/872900 She sounds like she was saturated with Meldonium due to accumulation as a result of taking it for so many years, even though taken as prescribed.
Sharapova fails drug test
- Thread starter britbox

this is not good and if she gets a short sentence then ITF and WADA will lose credibility..they must sent a message to all players that if you dope you will be punished..Mashamasher said:

This could be cited as gross negligence even if used for medical purposes. I think this means a 2 year ban.
I think she is a lesbian....did you see the birthday picture that Chelsea Handler sent her as a birthday present....something is going down between the two..Mashamasher said:

This is not anything new. In fact, only because it is more than the allowed limit, Maria did not get a free pass out of the jail and was forced to go through the hearing.
We still don't know as to what exactly is the amount found. That is not released. All these 'saturated' etc are your own exaggeration (which may or may not be true).

The really interesting questions (which do have definite answer) are the following
1. Did she list meldonium (or its other name) this year under medications taken?
2. Has she regularly listed meldonium in the past?
If the answer to 1 is no and answer to 2 is yes, it means she took a calculated risk
and so should be given 4 years.
But, technically a player is not required to, but encouraged to list all the medications that they are taking and so her lawyer would argue that she just forgot to list it.
But, my guess is we, the stupid fans, will not ever come to know the answers to these questions as well as the question of exactly how much meldonium was found in her blood, thanks to the "transparency" of ITF/WTA.

russian media is saying her level of the drug was very high that she will have to explain herself at a hearing...

Above that usually found in someone taking a therapeutic dose. Difficult to explain.

Maria falls out of top 10 in the WTA rankings chart released yesterday. Actually, Dominatrix is the defending champion in Rome and with Rome points removed, she is at #23 in the WTA live rankings chart. By the time she comes back in action, she is virtually assured to be a non-seeded player.

Maria launching new chocolate bar line of Sugarpova on May 15th. According to Russian tennis fed chief, we can expect verdict in the meldonium case involving Maria on or after May 15th. Generally, you don't want to be launching a product when a bad news comes. So, does this all mean Maria is expecting good news shortly?

Ok. We now know the date. It is Wednesday, the 18th May . That is the start of hearing. Typically, these hearings last only 2 or 3 days. After that the deliberations do not last for more than a week. So, the verdict should come before the end of May even in the worst case.
Maria Sharapova appeal verdict will be known in time for Wimbledon
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/may/14/maria-sharapova-appeal-verdict-wimbledon-tennis
Now here is the bit I don't get:
Her case will rest mainly on the recent admission by World Anti-Doping Agency that it was difficult to tell how long small amounts meldonium would stay in a player’s system.
I don't see how this is relevant when she admitted using the stuff after the ban was in place. She pleaded ignorance...
Now it would appear that the defence is based on the fact that meldonium was still in her system from using before the drug was banned.
Her rush to attempt to take control of the narrative with the press conference looks to have spectacularly backfired if this is now her defence.

I think that her defence might have something to do with the simple facts that nobody did any testing on this drug, there are no set limits on what usage is considered doping and what amount of the drug are not doping. WADA rushed on the decision to ban this substance without really providing any explanation or doing any research on the effects of it. They just "monitored" the results for a year after receiving a tip that Russian athletes were using this particular drug. It seems that even if you stop taking this drug before the deadline, the traces will still be found afterwards.
I am sure that other national sports programs are squeaky clean and their athletes are not using anything for recuperation purposes. :whistle:
