Does it allow athletes to maintain extreme low body fat without injury?
I'm guessing no because Aregawi isn't that skinny

How about this from 2015:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25847280https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeldoniumHowever, the anti-ischemic drug Mildronate demonstrates an increase in endurance performance of athletes, improved rehabilitation after exercise, protection against stress, and enhanced activations of central nervous system (CNS) functions.
It gives you a bigger engine which is key to speed endurance performance.
"Of interest to athletes is the finding that it consistently and significantly improves exercise tolerance. Some pharmaceutical companies have recently marketed it explicitly as a performance-enhancing drug. It’s also used as a “smart drug†by non-athletes. Athletes have been using it for over 5 years."

Interesting. So it seems that Aregawi was busted for using something that was perfectly legal a couple of weeks previously. I wonder if this will be part of her defense? (I didn't realize it wasn't legal, or, I forgot, etc).
Still, it's hard to gather much knowledge about how how effective meldonium is as a PED. Granted, people will debate the efficacy of all PEDs, but there is a general consensus that EPO is a game-changer, steroids have a reliably significant effect, etc. At this point, it could be that meldonium is just something athletes used as part of their "cocktail" of legal/gray-area drugs (until this past January 1). Or it could be very powerful.
Anyone know anything about the details of testing for it - i.e. is it easy to detect, what is the length of its detection window, etc?
Meldonium is flying off the shelves in Portland.
The real question is if this has been in use for a while, why didn't anyone here know about it?
LOL why don't u come clean n ask if this the drugs Mo Farah and Ayanleh Soulieman use
We know that pretty much everybody used it before 01/01/2016. Until then it was legal. A few either forgot to stop taking it or they confused it with some other still legal PED.

That's cheap! According to the "roidvisor" article, athletes are taking 1000-2000mg a day. Looks like a 500mg pill works out to about 30 to 50 cents. So, a buck or two a day.
Gotta say, the very cheapness of it makes me skeptical of its efficacy. Not that cheapness necessarily means ineffectiveness, but still....
The other conclusion one might reach is that almost literally any athlete can afford this.

Stop being a crybaby. If you're going to be inflammatory in your statements and blindly defend nefarious characters, then expect all the blowback that you receive.

Why are you so bitter?

That never works.
Why are you pushing your drug concepts?
lets just say i bought some and we'll see how it turns out

Because despite being dogmatic about drug performance enhancements, none of us actually have any interest in seeking out more than a strong cup of coffee.

In the present study, the existing evidence of Mildronate's usage in sport, which is arguably not (exclusively) based on medicinal reasons, is corroborated by unequivocal analytical data {are you reading, Jon Orange?} allowing the estimation of the prevalence and extent of misuse in professional sports. Such data are vital to support decision-making processes, particularly regarding the ban on drugs in sport. Due to the growing body of evidence (black market products and athlete statements) concerning its misuse in sport, adequate test methods for the reliable identification of Mildronate are required, especially since the substance has been added to the 2015 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) monitoring program.
In the present study, two approaches were established using an in-house synthesized labelled internal standard (Mildronate-D3). One aimed at the implementation of the analyte into routine doping control screening methods to enable its monitoring at the lowest possible additional workload for the laboratory, and another that is appropriate for the peculiar specifics of the analyte, allowing the unequivocal confirmation of findings using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-high resolution/high accuracy mass spectrometry (HILIC-HRMS). Here, according to applicable regulations in sports drug testing, a full qualitative validation was conducted. The assay demonstrated good specificity, robustness (rRT=0.3%), precision (intra-day: 7.0–8.4%; inter-day: 9.9–12.9%), excellent linearity (R>0.99) and an adequate lower limit of detection (

Someone should ask NOP athletes about meldonium. Not banned (until recently) and performance enhancing? Sounds like the gray zone.
