Maria Sharapova was taken Meldonium. In your honest opinion how do you think that drug helped her become a better player? Do you think that it gave her an advantage over her opponents? She was taking it because she had irregular EKGS. She said this in an interview. Maybe I don't really understand how professional sports actually works.

Are you going to keep resorting to one anecdote at a time to maybe prove your belief that peds don’t work? They do.
>Meldonium has been shown to have beneficial effects in cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic diseases due to its anti-ischaemic and cardioprotective properties, which are ascribed mainly to its inhibition of ß-oxidation and its activation of glycolysis.

Athletes take PEDS for one simple reason: They work. More strength and speed and better recovery. The recovery is key because then you can push yourself even harder while training, leading to more strength and speed gains. Anyone who says otherwise is completely clueless and frankly it's silly to even respond to them.
