This drug was an accident waiting to happen. With the apparent numbers known to be taking it, once it was banned someone was going to get caught out .......... as much by accident as design.

The sporting authorities must have realised this. The question is were they ready for as big a fish as Sharapova to fall into their net?

I can't escape the feeling that the entire sporting establishment wishes it had been the second best Latvian 800 metres runner whitening her insides with Meltonian, instead of the world's wealthiest sportswoman.
