Perhaps, but there isn't any evidence that it has any more of an effect on stamina than some of the other legal drugs out there. The drug was legal for more than 3 decades and I've seen athletes who used Meldonium but still suffered from having inferior stamina compared to other athletes during those times. Meldonium was banned prematurely, without there even existing conclusive evidence as to how much it enhances an athlete, relative to other legal drugs / artificial chemicals.
You can give the same Meldonium to other people and chances are, most won't be displaying anywhere near the power that Povetkin displays. It takes a lot more than just Meldonium if you think drugs are the only reason behind his abilities / power.
