Russian Athletes Helps "Meldonium in Hearts"

Winning the bronze medal Russians epee fencer told the secret of success

Another Olympic day brought two bronze medals in the treasury of the Russian national team. Distinguished Quartet epee and sports gymnast Aliya Mustafina. Now, on account of our team 17 medals.

The gymnasts competed in the individual all-around. Strongest representative of the Russian national team Aliya Mustafina scored 58.665 points in the final. This result brought her the bronze. The winner of the competition was the American Simone Biles (62.198). Silver her compatriot Alexandra Reisman (60.098). The second representative of our team Seda Toutkhalian failed performance and with the result of 54.665 points ranked 22-th place. For such low estimates resulted in an error when dismount after exercise on the balance beam.

President of the Federation of Artistic Gymnastics of Russia Vasily Titov praised Mustafina for a medal, which became her second at current games (previously, she won silver in the team all-around). "Olympic medal -. Always a wonderful event. Any medal. When a timber will not fall, then the fight will be (for gold) Girls fellows did what they could if the first two rounds -.. Vault and bars - we are strong, then over freestyle and a log to work, "- said Titov.

Russia's second success was the third women's fencing team. In the individual competition, all four of our epee fencer lost on 1/16 stage. Command medal was the compensation for this failure. The most dramatic match on the way to the award was the quarter-finals against France. In the course of the meeting the Russians conceded six shots, with great difficulty caught up with rivals in the last match of their doge - 44:41. The semifinal match against Romania, the Russian team lost no options - 31:45. However, in the match for third place Violetta Kolobov, Lubov Shutova, Logunova Tatiana and Olga Kochneva managed to meet and beat the Estonians - 37:31. Excel in this type of program Romanians, it became the second Chinese team.

On the emotions after the "bronze" final Violetta Kolobova said a phrase that has the potential to become winged: "After the individual competitions of some of the journalists, hi-pass him, said we did not have Meldonium (Mildronate) - so we lost. Now I want to say that there is Meldonium in our hearts, and no one will ever, none of the doping control will find it. "

The game kinds of Russian Olympians showed themselves on the positive side. Women's water polo team recovered from the crushing defeat of the Australians (4:14) and defeated the team of the hosts of the tournament. Brazilian water polo players for the first time take part in the Olympics and are considered the weakest opponents. Victory over them with a score of 14: 7, slightly improved prospects for the Russian team tournament, but compelling game our girls again showed.

As it became known on August 11 did not avoid the sad fate of the representative of the Russian team. Head Swimming Federation of Moscow, silver medalist of the London Olympics Yevgeny Korotyshkin the Instagram said in his, that he was attacked by two armed robbers in the area of the famous Ipanema Beach. "I hasten to inform you that all is well with me I Parted amicably them all out of the pockets in exchange for an exciting story for posterity is not expensive, but exciting....", - Wrote the ex-athlete.

Alas, at the Games in Rio it continues not only to a series of criminal incidents, and a series of terrible injuries. At this time, serious damage was Armenian weightlifter Andranik Karapetyan. In the weight category up to 77 kilograms, he was considered one of the favorites. When you push weightlifter failed to cope with the 195-pound barbell and his arm twisted at an unnatural angle. An athlete with a cry and dropped the shell, accompanied by doctors left the dais. The nature of the damage is not reported. Earlier, serious injury to the Olympic tournament received a French gymnast Samir Ait Said, broke his leg, and Dutch cyclist Annemiek van will fly, which is a fall on the road broke a rib and spine.

In the medal standings Russians lag from the leaders every day increases. At the same time in Rio have not yet started athletics competitions in which our athletes for obvious reasons to act (with one exception) can not. To date, the Russian national team is ranked seventh with 17 awards (four gold, seven silver and six bronze). The leaders are the Americans (13/12/10), in second place - team of China (07.09.10), the third - the Japanese (01.06.12). Between them and the Russians penetrated Team Australia, South Korea and Hungary.

Efimova: Dream of Gold postponed to Tokyo

After the Olympic Games in Rio silver 100m breaststroke, Yuliya Efimova won the second place at a distance twice as long.

By all the laws of the earth for a long time she had run out of power. First, the moral. Stories with Meldonium (Mildronate), non-admission to the Games, whistling crowd reaction and exhausted rivals even the fans. What can we speak about the athlete, which all this had fallen on his head. Second, to the Olympics she came not in the best physical condition. Parting with the American coach David Salo, serious illness, and endless litigation banal did not give her a chance to properly prepare for the 200 Still, if a hundred, you can shoot at the freshness, then three times in two days to swim two hundred at the top level -. It is a different history.

However Efimova continues to amaze. She probably never finish doing it. Though something to her after a losing streak was lucky. Universe compensate for this "something" in the form of a sharp decline in the results of the women's 200-meters.

Judge for yourself, at the Olympics in London Rebecca Soni won the distance with 2.19,59. At the World Cup 2013 semi-final Rikke Moeller Pedersen set a world record - 2.19,11. But then before long reached crisis breaststroke. At last year's World Cup in Kazan - where Efimov, recall, not made it to the semi-finals - he won Kanoka Watanabe with modest 2.21,15.

This year, the best result of the season, another Japanese - Kaneto. 2.19,65. Another thing is that the Japanese, in particular Kaneto traditionally shown at the April national championship superfast seconds, and for the main starts somewhat slow down the momentum. It happened in Rio. However, it was enough to Olympic gold.

At the same tactics Julia did everything absolutely right. 200 m - is one of the most complex strategically distances. "If from the start start strongly, there is a risk that the force will not be enough in the second half Begin to weak -. The second half of the muscles still accumulate tired - and nothing you can do", - explained Alexander Nemtyrev, Anton Chupkova coach, in a recent interview.

A good example of the complexity of the entire crotch 200-meters become yesterday's men's swim this distance. The first 150 m to the schedule, exceeding the world record Kosek. Anton Chupkov 50 meters before the finish was eighth. The final result you know. If not, remember - Russian won the medal and the Japanese was only fifth.

Efimova first 50 meters of the start of calmer, the second moved to fourth place, after the third - the second. Destiny gold solved the last "pool". Corona section of Russians. But as such it is only subject to the proper amount of training volume. And their absence, coupled with excessive desire has led only to the fact that in the last meters Efimova completely collapsed appliances. Before she reached the silver exclusively on the moral standing. There is a second medal at the Olympics, at which the Russians might not be.

Who walks on the internet video Repeat female final swim in the 100m breaststroke. On the replay on one of the cameras clearly shows that the competition winner Lily King not correctly turn. American has touched the rim, first with his left hand and then the right, while on the rules of touch must be simultaneous. In an amicable way, will be suspended.

Now, of course, too late to appeal. The Russian team of people who responded quickly to the situation, alas, none. And, honestly, purely in sports such turn almost brought King some dividends. But the question here is quite different. It would be interesting to ask Lily as she and her categorical intolerance to any kind of disturbances and an increased thirst for justice, will sleep at night now knowing that won the gold medal in this way?

Cheeseburger as a replacement for Meldonium

Nutritionist told that the Olympic champions actually eat

The world is in a fever called HLS: Instagram-accounts of people from around the world are decorated with photos of beautiful and useful food for health. Many may think that fashion on lettuce leaves, smoothie of blueberries and soy milk come from the world of professional sports. However, it is not - a true athlete, it turns out, eat quite differently.

Nutritionist Gabrielle Maston told that actually eat the Olympians, and relieved. Spoiler: long live the nuggets and cappuccino!

Myth ¹1: All athletes are watching calories

Special diet - an important part of the preparation for the race and an essential condition for the success of the Games. But the low-calorie diet and fashion superfudy is not what it takes to win. Food must be nutritious and facilitate tide energy, and hence needs all kinds of nutrients: the proteins and carbohydrates, and fats.

As Maston recalls ordinary man nutritionists recommend consuming about 2500 calories a day, the same woman - 2000. But for a professional who came to the competition, this is very little.

Generally, athlete diet twice richer than normal human menu. For example, a male swimmer needs four to five thousand calories a day. The reason is obvious: it takes a lot of energy, which consumption is very great for training.

However, according to a nutritionist, closer to the day of performance athletes actually eat less than in the period of the most intense workouts.

Myth ¹2: Olympians and fast food are not compatible

"McDonald's" - one of the sponsors of the Games. Fast food restaurant located in the Olympic Village, and everything in it to the athletes free of charge.

"You can see the athletes from around the world, eating free food in the dining room at four in the morning. One can easily take 27 cheeseburgers, nuggets 40, 12 frozen and diet-cola ", - said the Australian swimmer Melanie Schlanger. Unlimited sandwiches and sweet fizzy drinks - one of the main "cool" Olympics in Rio, she says jokingly.

Myth ¹3: They are ascetics

Generally, in the Olympic dining room whose dimensions are approximately equal to two football fields, lists all national cuisine, including Italian, Mexican, Japanese and Chinese. And also according to their specialties, including people with various religious and ethical limitations in the diet.

In addition, athletes visiting the huge hall with rows of tables - to some extent the publication: here to meet and interact with colleagues from other countries.

Myth ¹4: Sports Professionals do know that they have

Still, not everyone can afford to attend the Sabbath in the dining room. For example, it is very important in sports where there are weight classes every kilogram. The Olympic village is working team of nutritionists and experts may even accompany the charges for lunch, to recommend certain items in the menu and make sure that the athlete does not allow himself to excess.

Myth ¹5: No dietary supplements

Allowed to use supplements and buoyed performance products that can improve the results of the athlete, nutritionist are welcome. For example, protein bars.

According to Maston, at a premium swimmers beet juice - it improves stamina.

Cyclists consumed in soda, food, blocking the production of lactic acid in the muscles - you need to feel fatigue.

And of course, all the caffeine is popular, because it reduces pain and provides a burst of energy, but of course no Meldonium (Mildronate).

Western athletes make a vacuum massage as a replacement for Meldonium

Reporters noticed the surprise of fans, who found round bruises on the Olympians, in particular the US national team swimmer Michael Phelps.

How do correspondents find tracks on Phelps' body left by glass cups, craze that has swept the Americans a few years ago. Phelps is a fan of alternative medicine, and many of his achievements owes to vacuum massage, this therapy as it is called scientifically.

According to the athletes, vacuum massage improves blood circulation, metabolism in the body, and hence the muscles recover faster after exercise. According to the correspondent channel, the effect of the cups "is similar to the action of Meldonium (Mildronate), due to which dozens of Russian athletes lost won awards and were disqualified."

According to the chief doctor of oriental medicine center, after the cups "is removed fatigue, a person amplify his internal resources, it starts to feel a lot more cheerful." Medic calls it "natural toning procedure."

Meldonium is prohibited, electrostimulation is allowed

Olympic Games have already begun, but the fight against doping is not terminated. Yelena Isinbayeva finally let in Rio de Janeiro, and the Russian Paralympic Team at all removed from the Paralympic Games as a whole.

It alarmed me. It seems that the doping everywhere. I'm not an athlete, and analyzes of rent once a year if desired. But even I, before something to drink or eat, and now every time I think: is not prohibited if it is what some rules? And whether it will lead me to any disqualification?

I watch not only for themselves but also for my wife and children. All the time I speak to them - it does not eat. This is not a drink. Is that not enough!

But athletes from the United States are afraid of nothing. The publication of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and the US electronics reported that the results of American athletes at the Olympic Games in Rio will be strengthened by - attention! - Brain electrical stimulation. During training, athletes will be wearing a special headset that using electrodes stimulate the motor cortex of their brains DC power from a half to two milliamps.

You may ask: "How is it?! Is not it forbidden?" "No," - I say to you - is not prohibited "No World Anti-Doping Agency or the International Olympic Committee Do you know why because there is no tangible evidence of the effectiveness of this method, moreover, it will only be used in training..?

But wait - will continue to insist otherwise meticulous listener - because Meldonium (Mildronate) with all the same! It was used only for training and no tangible evidence of its effectiveness exists. Meanwhile, Meldonium is prohibited and electrodes in the brain is not prohibited.

And you know, I've been thinking about it. And guess. And I'll tell you. The fact that electrical stimulation of the brain from the Meldonium in contrast, leaves no residue in the assays. And if there is no trace in the analysis, then how to store these tests and to declare that, when it is opened by any sample B? And most importantly - if there is no analysis as then accuse another country in the substitution of these analyzes? In other words: if not all of these samples, the World Anti-Doping Agency is simply nothing to do. And it will have to close.

And if you thought that this is just the US so insolent that is open to the whole world declare that they will encourage their athletes at the Olympic Games with electricity, and it is nothing for it will not, it is you just do not like all American. And all must love the US. Otherwise, may not be allowed at the Olympic Games.

Creator of Meldonium: We must fight not with drugs, but with dishonest people

Professor Ivar Kalvins believes that the decision to equate doping drugs may not be approved.

The fight against drugs has been banned by WADA as the drug will not help solve the problem of doping among athletes, but only hit the sick people, said the creator of Meldonium preparation, chairman of the scientific council of the Latvian Institute of Organic Synthesis Ivars Kalvins.

- It is illegally, because there are normal medicines in this list such as Mildronate. In addition, there is a diuretic substance, which are taken by very many people. There are plenty of medications that control blood pressure. Only normal honest people would suffer, people, who are sick. Imagine if in this list include essential drugs, - he said.

- Does not help to get rid of the fact that the athletes will do everything, including the things prohibited to become winners. We must fight not with drugs, and with dishonest people. Need Flash and regular monitoring for athletes. And everything will be OK, - the professor said.

August 3 Russian Interior Ministry has prepared a draft resolution, which equates WADA prohibited doping agents to drugs. Thus, if the idea is approved, the doping of the prohibited list Anti-Doping Agency will join the list of potent substances, turnover of which in Russia is a criminal offense.

Doping Scandals

Olympic sports and special services. This closed topic rarely touched on before sports reporters. But before the Olympics in Brazil, she came to the fore because of the doping scandal.

Caricature situation

As usual, our little physical training companies met after a workout in the vitamin bar fitness club. We with Anatoly Petrovich ordered a citrus mix, and Victor and Andrew protein shakes.

- Doping indulge? - I tried to pin the young officers.

- There's nothing forbidden: no steroids or anabolic steroids - began seriously to justify Andrew.

Victor said with a grin: - We know that doping is very harmful for the man potency.

Honorary President of the Russian Football Union Vyacheslav Koloskov, who recently joined the independent commission of the Russian Olympic Committee anti-doping, says: "The Soviet sports reductant used, but these were not illegal drugs. Directing football and hockey in the 1980s, I was constantly reported to the board of the State Committee of the USSR on pharmacological maintenance of our national team, which is based on the use of herbal medicines. I remember our scientific group brought different means from the Altai, the Far East, traveled to China, we find there are different products of alternative medicine such as ginseng.

Whole institutions and complex scientific group studying their properties and assessed how successful they can be used for recovery of athletes, including football players.

At some point, the doctors of our national teams, together with the scientists came to the conclusion that it is very effective in restoring caviar. The famous doctor of football and hockey teams of the USSR Oleg Belakovsky a report on the matter prepared for the Sports Committee of the USSR. As a result of caviar we had a major doping in the country. "

- But now there was comical situation, and doping can declare anything, - said Andrei. - Meldonium story - a vivid example. But this is only a cheap remedy for cores. As proof of his words he took from a fresh newspaper and read opinions portfolio Juris Bundukisa - chairman of the pharmaceutical company "Grindeks". He was confident that Meldonium not have been included in the doping list: Mildronate is not a drug that enhances achievement athlete bears no actual or potential threat to health. In no way Meldonium therapeutic use is not contrary to the spirit of sport and in particular to health. "

- I read in the foreign press that Meldonium is a secret development of the KGB. Mildronate supposedly commissioned by the KGB Latvian scientist specially made for the Soviet special forces fighting in Afghanistan.

My interlocutors unanimously protested. - I spent two years "beyond the river" fighting in Afghanistan - Colonel Novikov said. - Well I know the guys from the special groups are now famous "Zenith" and "Cascade", but no one gave of us any Meldonium.

- You'd be surprised, but in Chechen and other dangerous fight we buy the necessary medicines for their money in the usual drugstore - bitterly confirmed the words of a senior comrade Victor. - Is it possible that secret services do not have enough - funds for medicines? - I did not believe a journalist. - Here, too, the situation is much caricature: in our hospital, of course, have all the necessary medicines, but worn with a variety of first-aid kit is no different. Basically, bandages, painkillers and tablets for water disinfection ...

Before the start of the Olympic Games in Rio was skeptical and still trying to find those responsible for the doping scandal with Russian sportsmen.

- I do not believe Western accusations nor our excuses - frankly journalist said his interlocutors from the security services. - But there is no smoke without fire. In Sochi operations substitution samples specifically two people involved: a FSB officer Blokhin names and former director of the Moscow Anti-Doping Rodchenkov laboratory.

So they're the main culprits? - I would not jump to conclusions - cooled the ardor of the browser "Academy" Colonel Novikov. - "Agent Blokhin" In my opinion, a fictional defector Rodchenkov figure. The myth of the KGB-FSB long arm he needs to enhance its reputation in the West. - By the way, doping scandal with Russian athletes started with the publication in The New York Times first interview Rodchenkova, - the journalist said. - It is there claimed that very frightened after the mysterious death of two of his colleagues - the heads of the Russian Anti-Doping Agency Vyacheslav Sinev and Nikita Kamaeva. It would seem that he is right. In a short time of twenty Russian wrestlers doping suddenly gone to the light two strong men of fifty.

In the West claim that it removes the FSB witnesses of their crimes against doping. - But 18 witnesses were in fact alive, - Anatoly Petrovich shrugged. - Besides death and Sinev Kamaeva it was caused by natural causes. One suffered for several years from an incurable disease, the other died suddenly of a heart attack. Special services for more than half a century, are not engaged in "wet" cases. Browser "AN" did not want to play in this debate, and pulled out of the gym bag specially saved translating the notorious report by Richard McLaren.

In it Canadian lawyer stated: "Russian anti-doping laboratory has developed a unique methodology for the replacement of samples of doping tests, which allowed the Russian athletes, who used doping, to participate in the Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russian Sports Minister immediately directed and controlled manipulation of the results of the doping tests of athletes. " The report speaks of falsification of 643 doping samples from 2012 to 2015. But claims that the commission headed by McLaren on the role in the doping scandal of Russian special services. Quote from the report: "In the evening, December 12, 2014 Blokhin FSB officer who controlled lab activities led other FSB officers. No employee lab did not see the presence of the FSB in the laboratory, but the next morning, the remaining cork sample tubes were opened, so that the urine in them could be replaced by ".

The report McClaren said: "Thanks to the efforts of the FSB method was developed undetectable removing covers from the tubes containing the urine samples of Russian athletes who have used a drug that was used during the Olympic Games in Sochi." Soon, however, on the same pages of the report it states: "The exact method that was used the FSB for opening bottles with the samples during the Olympic Games in Sochi, is unknown." - What is the evidence? - Outraged Victor. - "I do not see, is unknown ..." FSB officers Rodchenkova could pass away for greater importance every rogue. The documents he have some Blokhin, of course, did not check ... Olympic state securities of a puncture - For the eyes of Gregory Rodchenkova not in vain called "mad professor" - joined in the conversation again Andrew. - That's just the shortest milestones of his biography.

This 57-year-old native of Moscow was considered a good expert in your field. A graduate of the Moscow State University, Ph.D., he began working in the Moscow anti-doping center more in 1985. Then he worked in Canada, in the Russian petrochemical companies, and led the Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Anti-Doping Center" in 2005. Vladimir Ivanov, a long time knowing Rodchenkova, gave him such a characterization: "Grigory Mikhailovich - a very unusual person. He reminds the hero comic book superhero - brilliant, but mad professor who wants to take over the world. Ever-tousled hair. Boundless energy. Grandiose plans and incredible mind. His tendency to know many fantastic ideas.

And treated it leniently, "This is Gregory ..." "Mad Professor" repeatedly came into conflict with Russian law. In 2013, convicted and sentenced under Art was recognized in Moscow. 234 h. 3 of the Criminal Code "Illegal circulation of strong or poisonous substances with a view to sale" Honored Master of Sports Marina Rodchenkova. The trial court sentenced her to one and a half years in prison, but after the appeal hearing period replaced the suspended sentence.

As the materials of the criminal case, Marina Rodchenkova bought anabolic steroids, actively used in professional sports: Testosterone Propionate (total weight 15 g), Oxandrolone (32.4 g) and Methandienone (10 g), which, as explained Rodchenkova herself, she He intended to sell in the future. Marina - the sister of Gregory Rodchenkova, which also took place in this case. Investigators suspect that the primary source of illegal drugs was he.

Once threatened with prosecution, Gregory Rodchenkov began to behave inappropriately and repeatedly placed in a hospital "for the production of a forensic psychiatric examination." Later, the court submitted a petition that has Rodchenkova schizotypal personality disorder. As a result, with Rodchenkova cleared of all charges. But the most surprising, that a person with a "schizotypal personality disorder" and sister convicted for trafficking in hard drugs, was at the head of Russia's only WADA accredited anti-doping laboratory. Moreover, in this capacity, he worked at the Olympics in 2014 and even got the job Order of Friendship. - Here is the most important puncture our special services, - contritely Colonel Novikov said. - Missed psycho-traitor.

Therefore, the urine poor Russian athletes guilty and organs. And not only domestic.

There are our sins in the doping scandals

We seem to have forgotten that the Americans collected materials prepared for it.

Doping scandals and the situation in an attempt to prevent the Russian athletes at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro last few days before the start of the world's competition, it was one of the main topics in the world of sports. Perhaps even those who do not consider themselves avid fans actively discussing what is happening and speculated. I believe that we will be able to enjoy the victories of our athletes in Rio.

They rare treat us good, because our country is one of the few contenders for that to win, and win in many sports. This is our tradition. Naturally, many foreign countries would like to see themselves in front of us, so there are scandals. However, I think that we have sins. In the case of the latest doping scandal, I believe that our leadership is not very closely related to cases that occur in the Olympic arena and its scenes.

For example, in a situation with Meldonium (Mildronate) is our fault. We extended time. After all the talk about going for two years. We seem to have forgotten that the Americans collected materials prepared for this. And in the end, when the aggression started, we started from the ground up to reflect these psychological attacks. All drugs that athletes take, should be thoroughly investigated. We have specialists who are responsible for farm-preparation all national teams, there are scientific institutions working in this direction. Alas, in a situation with Meldonium it was very sad to hear when direct managers of health centers responded something like: "We have read the summary and thought that all three hours is displayed." How can working with the national teams, "read the annotation"? Yes, this drug should be studied before each micron! And we simply do not think that giving their athletes.

Key questions that need to work - how to get rid of doping and how best to prepare the team for subsequent Olympic Games. Besides pharmacological doping, there are other ways to recover. Why athletes use doping? To recover after a hard workout in the gym. To load something we all learned. All coaches - professionals in this. How to restore the athlete - this is probably the main problem, which today decides to dope, and that we can not until we decide. I think we should work more in this direction, and at the state level.

To start the process and to obtain positive results, we need to work in close connection with the research institutes and groups of scientists. At one time in the adult, junior and youth teams have research teams who have worked in this direction. Today, even in the national team is not always a masseur because we save on everything. The result that we have today, it is just a consequence of the economy.

It's no secret that politics plays an important role in the sphere of sports. If we were weak country, that our athletes were given white cards, as is the case with athletes from developing countries. Not winning the license, athletes still participates in the Olympic Games. We are winning the right to participate in the Olympics. Yes, we are an eyesore from all over the world. Nevertheless, I am sure that Russian athletes will try to do everything possible and impossible at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In those sports, which are admitted, everything will depend on the children themselves and from the coaches, who will travel with them. But for those athletes whose sport is not admitted, no one has canceled the European and world championships and championships next year. It is clear that every athlete dreams about the Olympics. But that is what it is, and it is also necessary to pay.

On the Russian Athletics Championships in Cheboksary performed well Bashkir athletes. Gulshat Fazlitdinova was second in the women's five thousand meters, Danil Lysenko in the high jump also won a silver medal, losing only to the Olympic champion Ivan Ukhov. Lysenko - a young athlete from Birsk, where a very good children's school high jump. Man grows. It was his first championship of Russia, and he showed such a result. For Daniel Olympics in Rio would probably not fight for a prize, and the first step, a step for growth. But he was old enough to hope to hit the next Olympic Games.

I am sure that Russian athletes will show itself as well at the Olympic and Paralympic Games. I think that we will have a reason to rejoice for the results of our guys.
