Its all about degrees of innocence and guilt I guess. Until 1st January that drug was legal and now it isn't. So some kind of
exercise capacity increasing additive was legit but now isn't. Sharapova definitely screwed up but its down to the dates as much as anything.
And apparently WADA are now looking at one or two powerful pain killers that are currently allowed but might not be in the future. Talking of pain killers don't most professional footballers take an ibup or two each time they play? Come to that most ultra distance runners I know use ibuprofen to help reduce pain. Surely you could argue that no pain killers at all should be taken, ibuprofen and all? A pain killer
artificially increases exercise capacity after all
