New doping scandal
From 1 January 2016, the WADA has included in the list of prohibited substances "Meldonium" drug (Mildronate).
This change in the list raises many questions:
- The drug developed in the USSR in 1975, and is used only in the territory of the former USSR.
- Mildronate - is a precursor of carnitine which, in turn, is a key regulator of fat metabolism and is required for transportation and fat oxidation in the mitochondria. In accordance with the assurances of the manufacturer and developer mildronat effective in ischemic conditions (diseases associated with improper blood flow, and the consequent lack of oxygen).
- Carnitine may improve athletic performance of athletes. This carnitine is not doping.
- Developer Meldonium, director of the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis Ivars Kalvins in an interview with French newspaper Le Monde said that the medicine does not consider doping. He noted that this medication is needed to prevent heart attacks and damage to muscles in athletes who experience heavy loads. However, in his opinion, there is no scientific evidence that the drug can improve the physical abilities of athletes. "From a scientific point of view, it is even possible that meldonium used during sports, reduces physical capabilities, as slowing the oxidation of fatty acids. If the athletes taking it, they should not wait for the best results, on the contrary, they will be protected against ischemic cell damage. This will allow them to win, and keep your health! "- Kalvins said.
- Nobody investigated Meldonium to the output speed of the body.
- In a strange way this scandal coincided with the approach of major international competitions. Is this a coincidence?
- Why does not check for doping in professional sports?
So I want to include in the number of doping (of equality considerations):
- Sports massage
- Sporting ointment
- Carnitine
- Sports uniforms, reduces air resistance and water
Since all of the above factors unreasonably improve the physical condition of the athlete.
And also prohibit speak Norwegian skiers who are taking (official) illegal drugs, for the whole Norwegian team suffers from asthma, according to their medical records. Personally, I believe that if a person is sick, he should not speak at the event on a par with healthy athletes.
