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.
