Oops -Maria Sharapova could be cleared as Wada announces meldonium amnest
http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/78902245/maria-sharapova-could-be-cleared-as-wada-announces-meldonium-amnesty<snip>
Athletes who tested positive for meldonium before March 1 this year could have their bans overturned after the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) announced it was unable to establish how quickly the drug, outlawed since January 1, cleared the system.
Wada's announcement could allow five-times grand-slam tennis champion Maria Sharapova, who failed a test for meldonium in January, and other banned athletes to return to competition, Russian officials said on Wednesday (Thursday NZ Time).
Sharapova, the world's highest-earning sportswoman, was among 40 Russians who failed dopes tests for meldonium after it was added to Wada's list of banned substances in January.
