Is this Kovalev without Meldonium?

[Lester Tutor]

Meldonium is a mild, recently classified PED. Even if he spent his whole life on it and came off, none of you would be able to tell the difference.

I'm not sure why people are acting as if Meldonium makes any noticeable difference.

cmon dude, how's it a coincidence most Russian athletes were rocking it? location convenience? all of them share related health issues?

Was Sharapova forced to admit that "it was a mistake" even though she said that it was given to her by her clinical doctor for "health related issues?"

It makes enough difference for athletes to use it....Unless Russia is filled with more heart problems and diabetics than America-lol....in fact, maybe the USA should be on these drugs since there is more of a diabetic epademic than Russia....maybe those Russians are using the drug as a precaution-lol

Legit question?

I think this is a good question. I absolutely think kov used to use meldonium. Remember he refused VADA for th Pascol rematch. Even though pascal offered to pay for all of it. It's crazy how in his other fights he never got tired and always ko the opponents. Do you think he was on it?

He was VADA tested for the second Pascal fight.

Meldonium was legal then right? it was only illegal on the 1st of 2015 so he had almost an entire training camp right??(not that i agree)..

Then why do athletes take it?

I wonder how much meldonium Roy Jones takes before an HBO broadcast?

I don't think Meldonium keeps you from eating jabs or struggling with distance. His stamina seemed diminished but that could have been from missing punches more than usual (which is exhausting). You never know though. The issue in that part of the world is real. No ignoring that. But, I can't say his struggles were drug related, they seemed more style-related.

Pretty much this. Great post

wrong Pascal never offered to pay for VADA he wanted another agency and he himself declined VADA

The thought did cross my mind for a split second, but I'm not going to take it seriously.
