WADA doctor confirmed what we all knew

[_Maxi]

"testified that it would be impossible to test negative for meldonium three times and then test positive days later without having ingested it in the interim."

why is this constantly ignored?

It's not ignored. That's HIS opinion. The WADA directory said otherwise. according to WADA the Meldonium excretion rate is still being investigated.

...

Are you serious? do you even know what a directory is? a directory is not a webpage section. A directory is the group of people taking the decisions on a given organization.

You are very ******.

the only directory wada has is for their research grant program LMFAOOO. you can literally be added to WADA directory for a lab by filing out their .doc form.

exactly... they dont know 100% about the drug or how long the effects lasts... which completely contradicts half the stuff you posted here already.

[youbeight]

we're literally arguing a wada accredited lab's legitimacy by someone who has a PHD in sports science with ppl who has no knowledge, no PHD, and no money invested into these guys lmfaooooooooooo

It's ignored because it doesn't suit the agenda of certain posters on this forum.

Exactly, they don't know. Which means... they don't know! Except this Dr Eicher. He pretends to know when WADA already said they don't know.

Did more search on the matter and this dr is a member of the: Technical Document on Sport Specific Analysis Expert Group so yes he's a member of WADA.

However he is NOT representing WADA with these comments.

It's his sole opinion and the WADA documents contradicts this man's opinion.

He's a member of a minor panel if you take a look at the rest of the WADA team: https://www.wada-ama.org/en/governance

There are at least one hundrer doctors.

so in other words, wada does not know, but a doctor with a PHD in sports science who reps wada as a member says yxz, and you STILL choose not to believe him?

[Motorcity Cobra]

It appears in the WADA website as the head of a WADA approved laboratory, exactly as I said above.

This Dr is no member of WADA and doesn't take decisions.

You can create your own lab and make it a WADA aprooved lab. It doesn't mean you are a member of WADA or a WADA researcher.

Is that what happened here?

He works for a WADA approved laboratory, and is a former USADA member.

He's not a WADA member. Get it?

WADA cleared Povetkin. Get it?

VADA is not a WADA code signatory, so VADA nor the WBC need to necessarily go by anything WADA say. WBC could could simply base their decision on who makes the best argument. WADA has no authority over the WBC, but obviously what WADA thinks does help Povetkin.

In the same way that in a trial you have several judges, one judge can say A but if the rest say B, then the result of the trial is B.

Otherwise you might believe that Canelo and Mayweather was a draw, for example.

This is science. The official truth is that the meldonium excretion rate is still unknown.

WADA is still investigating because if meldonium is stored in fat just as many other drugs, then it can be released into the blood system when the fat is being burned, even months after taking that particular drug.

This dr doesn't think it's the case, but WADA is conformed by a hundred of doctors.
