Anti-Doping Programme to introduce biological passport

All the doping officials have to do is stay one-step behind the dopers, and given the difficulties of establishing new tests this is not exactly difficult.

The Meldonium incident was anomalous because it was a drug that could have been easily banned several decades ago, but no one thought of it as a PED so it wasn't.

To be honest, I believe this is what is happening currently in tennis. This kind of controlled doping. As long as the player is not taking something too dangerous and staying within certain limits, they look the other way. Anyway, the borders between legal and illegal stuff is not well defined and there are a lot of possibilities to be creative. When I think about Sharapova and her Meldonium, which is a very mild drug, I can’t help but feel upset even though I never liked her, but I feel it was a big injustice.

Red bull is more dangerous (health wise) than many of the PEDs (if they are not abused). So if WADA is OK to let Red bull F1 team participate in sport I know they really do not care about health and it is all political. So really there is no need to argue the point any further.

Former players and trainers told Outside the Lines the advantages sought and gained by players are not from PEDs such as steroids but enhancers used for match endurance, recovery and injury repair. Players get the edge by micro-dosing EPO, HGH, synthetic testosterone as well using an assortment of designer peptides, which stimulate the body to increase the natural production of certain substances.

Tennis has a clean record on PEDs, and that appears to be no accident
