Meldonium in 47 of 49 failed Russian dope tests
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) president Craig Reedie said that 47 of 49 Russian sportspersons who have failed drug tests between November 2015-May 2016 did so because Meldonium was detected in their system. Meldonium, which helps to adjust the body's use of energy and can boost stamina and aid endurance, was added to WADA's list of banned substances in January 2016.
