Geraint Hughes shows how easy it is to find meldonium on WADAs banned substances list Sharapova said she had legally taken the medication since 2006 to deal with health issues including an irregular heartbeat.Grindeks, the Latvian company which manufactures meldonium - banned by WADA as it aids oxygen uptake and endurance - says the normal course of treatment for the drug is four to six weeks.Depending on the patients health condition, treatment course of meldonium preparations may vary from four to six weeks. Treatment course can be repeated twice or thrice a year, said Grindeks in a statement.Only physicians can follow and evaluate patients health condition and state whether the patient should use meldonium for a longer period of time. Sharapova lost to Serena Williams in the quarter finals in Melbourne in January Sharapova will be provisionally suspended from tennis later this week and could face a ban of up to four years.However, former UK Sport anti-doping chief Michele Verroken believes she could receive a minimum of a one-year ban if she can prove she needed to take the drug for medical purposes.This is a strict liability issue and to test positive, as it were, for a prohibited substance is a strict liability matter, Verroken told Sky Sports News HQ. Sharapova fails drugs test Maria Sharapova reveals failed drug test at Australian Open You are responsible for what is found in your sample, you are responsible for what goes into your body.So, to just say that you didnt notice it had been added to the list will not be considered the excuse to totally evaluate an sanction.Now the challenge facing Maria Sharapova and her team is to bring forward the diagnostic evidence that she has a condition that required the prescription of this treatment.But if she can actually prove that she may get some leniency from the disciplinary panel.

Sir Bradley Wiggins admits he has sympathy for Sharapova after she failed a drugs test Maria has stood up and said ultimately that its her responsibility, shes the athlete and she should check. But when you get to the top of your sport you are surrounded by a team of people who really should be advising you and checking and doing all these things.I just think its very sad that this has happened.I think that Maria is, in my opinion, an honest person whos made a very big mistake; shes going to pay for it.I dont think shes a drugs cheat, I really dont, I think shes been caught out with something she thought was perfectly okay to take and then didnt check the lists.Also See:Sharapova career reveiwSponsors drop SharapolvaWhat is Meldonium?Tennis reacts to newsNike Air Max NZ . -- Quarterback Will Finch threw for 252 yards and three touchdowns, and Yannick Harou rushed in two scores as the No. Nike Air Max NZ Mens .

Darya Domracheva of Belarus was second, 34.Keith Wood has described childhood friend and Munster and Ireland teammate Anthony Foley as the gel that held both sides together.Wood was speaking on Newstalk on Monday as the tributes continue to pour in for the late Foley, who died in Paris on Sunday.His death has shocked the rugby world and Wood knew Foley better than most having grown up with him in Killaloe.In an emotive, heartfelt interview on Monday morning Wood remembered his late friends hurling prowess, his ability on the rugby field as a promising youngster and the time Zinzan Brooke asked sheepishly if he could attend Foleys testimonial dinner.Wood, talking to Pat Kenny, said: I wouldve put him [Foley] as the gel for an awful lot of good players to play better around him.Sometimes he didnt get the credit he deserved. Quite simply, when he was at the back of the scrum you never had to think of what was happening, he led from there annd in the manner he played.dddddddddddde did the right thing at the right time. It took him a period of time to get into matches -- it could take him three or four games to get him match fit but once he was match fit, he was phenomenal.He was incredibly robust, didnt get injured all that much. He was fantastic.One anecdote Wood offered remembered when Dominos Pizza used to give a pizza to whoever scored the first try at Thomond Park and Anthony got a hat-trick to just make sure.Wood continued: He had a wicked, dry sense of humour but talking about him in the past tense is unbelievably surreal.I dont know how long itll take for the funeral but its trying to get those nice memories out and to try and smile a little bit at the moment if its possible. Its heart-breaking. ' ' '
