Good for her it's crazy that she's made as much money as she has being half as talented as Serena.

Did anyone read the pdf?

Also from the PDF:

19. In the period from January to April 2006 Dr. Skalny sent very detailed messages to Ms Sharapova advising on her nutritional intake, including advice as to medications. The messages which have been disclosed include the following advice given in 2006on taking Mildronate:
“Mildronate 1 - 2 X 10, repeat in 2 wks (before training or competition)”
“1 hr before competition, 2 pills of Mildronate”
“During games of special importance, you can increase your Mildronate dose to 3 - 4 pills (1 hr before the match). However, it is necessary to consult me on all these matters (please call)”
“30 minutes prior to a training session: Mildronat –1 Capsule. 30 - 45 minutes prior to a tournament Mildronat 2 capsules”.

63. That leaves the issue as to why Ms Sharapova was systematically using Mildronate before matches, and in particular at the Australian Open in 2016. In the tribunal’s view the answer is clear. Whatever the position may have been in 2006, there was in 2016 no diagnosis and no therapeutic advice supporting the continuing use of Mildronate. If she had believed that there was a continuing medical need to use Mildronate then she would have consulted a medical practitioner. The manner of its use, on match days and when undertaking intensive training, is only consistent with an intention to boost her energy levels. It may be that she genuinely believed that Mildronate had some general beneficial effect on her health but the manner in which the medication was taken, its concealment from the anti-doping authorities, her failure to disclose it even to her own team, and the lack of any medical justification must inevitably lead to the conclusion that s he took Mildronate for the purpose of enhancing her performance.

So she as been using a drug for 10 years that is now considered a competitive advantage...I wonder how much less success she would have had in her career without it from day 1.
She shouldnt appeal the ban...she should fall to her knees and be thankful she was getting off for so long.

Ehh I'm reading up on this shyt. The length is harsh for the drug she was taking and it just got banned.

No it's not. She got off lightly because the banned was supposed to be 4 years.

[aqualung]

She admitted using but now she's going to appeal the suspension? Good luck

The rule had been changed seconds before she violated it. Before the rule change, MS's drug of choice was permitted.

But whatever.
