GOAT: ‘Anti-Russian agenda could be behind meldonium doping scandals’

[stielar]

The meldonium-related scandals in Russian sports might be driven by an anti-Russian agenda, MMA legend Fedor Emelianenko has said. "We can see what's happening in the world today. We can see what's happening around Russia. Russian athletes have to accept that whole story with meldonium. Although, I think that story could be a part of anti-Russian agenda. Meldonium stays in your body for some period, despite of prescription saying that it clears out of your body in just days,” the 39-year-old said in an interview with Lenta.ru.

Emelianenko also stressed that professional athletes receive enormous capacity of physical stress during their careers.

“Meldomium supports the heart work, and should not be considered doping,” he said.

Maybe I'm out of the loop, but is there really an anti-Russian agenda? Or is it just that more and more Russians and east Europeans are failing drug tests as of late?

Lance Armstrong, Marion Jones, Tyson Gay, Carl Lewis, Tim Montgomery, everybody who plays in the NFL, almost anybody who has ever hit a lot of home runs in baseball, everybody who has ever competed in MMA = derp eh durr, dat der Putins be alls drug cheatin like, aint got nuffins to do wit dat der New Cold War goin on. It be a coincidence, I tells ya.

Russian = drug cheats
Americans = the most sophisticated sophisticated drug cheats
Brits = drug cheats
Canadians = drug cheats
Aussies = drug cheats
Brazilians = drug cheats
Everyone who can afford it = drug cheats

The Russians are being singled out for geopolitcal reasons. Fedor is 100% right.
