She gets 4 years now doesn't she?

It can be halfed with mitigating circumstances. 

 

Lol at the essendon fans getting stuck into sharapova on twitter while saying essendon Players never failed a drugs test.

Cant believe these guys are serious

she's got 12 months provisional at the moment

she has convinced no-one that she has been taking it for 10 years for medical reasons

Got to protect those endorsement $$$$'s

More spin that the gullible will fall for ... all done to get people thinking that Maria didn't get an unfair advantage. 

I'm not surprised though ... however, I am surprised that tennis actually caught one of their cheats ... more by default than by design, all things considered.

 

Edit: Nike have dropped off but they've had to jump off a few athletes in the more recent past (Armstrong included)

 

what does the drug in question help ?  both legitimately...and covertly ?

A cardiologist on SEN this morning described it as a dodgy drug that increases stamina. He stated it was performance enhancing.

could probably use this...lol :rolleyes:

The same cardiologist rubbised claims she would be using that drug due to her families history of diabetes and a magnesium deficiency. 

Russians and Eastern European athletes have a history of doping with the same drug.

well...there ya have it

With new found time on hands maybe she can pop over to Windy Hill and give a pep-talk !!

Yes she did admit her fault, albeit, sugar coated and made excuses. I don't believe for one second she has been taking meldonium for an illness for the last 10 years. 

Pushing the limits, sounds too familiar. A drug cheat is a drug cheat and I have no sympathy. 

I am with you Ethan. Maria has been taking a PED for years

WADA were to slow on this one

2 years min...

Tennis has been slow with  drug testing and gambling.

They are a classic example of why sporting organisations should not be supervising themselves.

They have a vested interest to find nothing wrong.

I lost interest in large international sport some years ago only to then find my loved AFL was as bad as the rest of them.

The more money involved the more corruption. The only reason I stay involved with AFL is the MFC but I take little notice of games that do not involve the MFC.

Gawd, imagine how much she'd get beaten by Serena if she didn't take it. ^_^

Wouldn't that be a pep-tide talk?

well yes, but such is the water-mark it couldnt be sean !!

It's so hard to believe these claims about Sharapova. For a start...

The family doctor went rogue.

She was duped.

It was the good meldrumium.

It's not performance enhancing anyway.

She wouldn't take banned drugs ... she's a good Aussie sheila.

She's been set up by the WTA. They need a scalp and she's it.

She is so brave. #standbymaria

To paraphrase another demonlander who was talking about Tiger Woods, youse will know who, all they have to do is drug test Serena. If she's not on anything, it doesn't matter what the others are taking.

My blood pumps harder and longer watching Sharapova play.......

And weren't Nike quick to step away from their contract with her.....The EFC sponsors should take note.....

From wiki (so it has to be true!) ...

"meldonium “demonstrates an increase in endurance performance of athletes, improved rehabilitation after exercise, protection against stress, and enhanced activations of central nervous system (CNS) functions.”

There's no truth in the rumour that 'meldonium" increases ones ability to "screech" ... however, it is one of Latvia's largest exported products (apparently)

Meldonium (wiki)

Like the Essendon players she was very careless and like them, she's gawn.

I don't know how careless she was ...

On the other hand, at least she put her hand up.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Fremantle

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
