WADA announces meldonium amnesty
The presence of less than one microgram of meldonium in doping samples in tests conducted on athletes before March 1 this year is acceptable, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on Wednesday.
Meldonium was added to WADA’s list of banned substances on Jan. 1, 2016, with athletes around the world being informed of the decision in the autumn of 2015.
Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, who had recently said 40 Russian sportsmen and women failed dope tests for meldonium, including tennis player Maria Sharapova and swimmer Yulia Efimova, welcomed the decision by the world body.
“The Russian Sports Ministry supports and welcomes the decision made by WADA because it has showed a willingness to understand the situation, rather than stick to the rulebook,” Mutko said in a statement on Wednesday.
“They were ready to study how long it would take for meldonium to be eliminated from the body of an athlete.
“… WADA has demonstrated impartiality and being objective in the fight against doping.”

Adam Peaty: Fast cars, grime music and a ban on talking about swimming could help win Olympic gold
Fiddling with the laces on his bright red personalised Nike trainers, Adam Peaty does something that is rare when he is away from the pool: he talks about swimming.
Already a three-time world champion and double world record holder, Peaty usually adheres to a simple rule when he emerges from the water. Switch off.
He drives his beloved Mercedes, listens to grime music, watches American sitcoms, plays computer games and does little to differentiate himself from the majority of other 21-year-olds.
Three months out from his first Olympic Games that is just the way he likes it.
“At home we have a rule where we don’t talk about swimming at all,†he says. “Sometimes I go downstairs and my mum and dad are watching one of my races and I tell them to switch it off.
