This is huge news for anyone following tennis. This sport is one of the dirtiest sports in the world. Unlike other sports, their authorities have always protected the big stars and every now and then they have thrown a nobody player under the carpet to say look our tests are working. It seems they have finally decided to sacrifice one of their stars and its a huge one. Make no mistake....most of the elite tennis players are dirty. Lets just say Spanish doctors are very loved within tennis and a certain super Spaniard has been protected for years

Oh I must've misheard that. I thought she was saying she wants to retire but ESPN just confirmed she said she doesn't want to go out that way. My mistake.

Imo this is all bullshit.
No fucking shit pro athletes require chemical assistance to keep their bodies healthy and performing optimally.
This is fucking entertainment after all; so let them do their jobs.
Or bust them all AHEM the big 3 of men's tennis!

She was "caught" at the first event after the product was banned. I'd tend to believe her excuse.
Meldonium is manufactured in Latvia. It is used in Lithuania and the Russian Federation but is not approved by the United States' Food and Drug Administration. A number of other athletes have tested positive for the drug since Jan. 1: Abeba Aregawi (Ethiopian born, Swedish nationality, 1500 world champion) Eduard Vorganov (Russian cyclist) EndeShaw Negesse (Ethiopian marathoner) Ekaterina Bobrova (Russian ice dancer) Olga Abramova (Ukranian biathlete).
Maria said the drug is given to her by her family doctor, but the drug is not sold in the US. Its a drug known for enhancing your endurance. So i really doubt an American doctor would recommend drugs that has not passed the standards in the US. So Maybe her doctor for the last 10 years have been in Russia. Its also amazing that Maria is known to outlast her opponents in 3 sets matches hmmm

She was cheating, not using prescription for a magnesium deficiency.
A fucking 10 yr Mg deficiency? LOL.
Cardiac drugs are not new as a form of cheating.

But they've said for like a year this was being watched, she admits she didn't check the banned list.
I'm sorry but she knew this was helping her and she kept using, she did win a lot of 3 setters in her career hmm...

Everyone uses PEDs. Andy Murray went from looking like Nate Diaz to Rory Macdonald in less than 6 months. I was shocked by that.
There are several problems she has. This drug has been known for 5 years that it helps athletes. 188 athletes was on it 2014, which made wads suspicious and they studied it 2015 and decided to ban it. But before every tournament players are asked to write down any subscriptions they Are using and she never mentioned this for 10 years. Of all the 188 players using it 2014 not one has come out in public and said this drug shouldn't be banned as it helps them. The drug is not available in America and she and her family has been living her in the states for close to 20 years. What American doctor would advise you to use a drug like this? Her family doctor has to come forward and explain what her problem is and why he advised her to use this drug, no doctor will do this and ruin their career. Maria is on or mission and will do back room deal and serve 12 month ban and apology. No way she will fight this

Her sponsors have already ditched her... hopefully this is the beginning of a downward spiral that culminates in her ending up with me.
(sa for the 'drugs cheat' angle - this is really, really small beer. It is funny that she got busted for this while some *ahem* other more noticeable and serious abusers are strutting free...)
