Just because you don't see a giant squid every day or week doesn't mean they aren't in the ocean.

I'm sitting firmly on the fence at the moment but...
I've just heard on SSNHQ say that some German researchers published research last year showing the potential for performance enhancing properties of this stuff....if she's been taking it for 10 years "knowing" it is a performance enhancer, why did it take 9 years for anyone else to work it out...??

And just because they play for big money doesn't mean they are using PED to gain an advantage because other sports have a high number of people doing it.
And for ten years there's a good chance the side effect was to improve performance. Why else take it when better, more advanced and up to date medicines are potentially available to use and obtain in the US

I'm not sure why you feel the need to have to talk down to people whenever people say things you don't agree with ?

I did some digging last night and found the half-life is about 5-6 hours meaning a normal dose would be gone within a day or two
How taking it for 10 years affects that, I can't answer..

And the former head of Wada has said just minutes ago on the news that NO ONE would take that drug over that period of time for that condition

And right now that's what it is - one failed drugs test so far based on poor judgement from what has been said.

Isn't the phrase no smoke without fire? While Sharapova is obviously a big fish, I also wonder how many on the periphery of the main tour and on feeder tours have also used PED's in the form of medication. It could be the start of a big can of worms opening?

That's the thing about doctors - there is always someone who has a different opinion
If the drug was PED why didn't WADA ban it previously

Ah! So it's WADA's fault for not banning it sooner?

Thanks, I've not followed it that closely but it's always good to get an experts opinion.

When did anyone suggest that ?
If the "former head" of WADA is such an expert on it and it's PED why wasn't it banned ?

Well it's good to know then that she wasn't taking this drug for a performance increase and that she is the only one to have failed a drugs test not to have done.
I also don't know of an athlete who has failed the first test but not the second....
It'll be a label mix up next and not her sample

That's what I inferred from your post
I don't know the inner workings of WADA but when went on the list she still took it, she's a world class sportsperson and anyone at her level who doesn't pay the greatest attention to the changes on the ban list deserves all that she gets

and neither have licences so some crashes and damage is inevitable :smirk:
