Are you going to keep resorting to one anecdote at a time to maybe prove your belief that peds don’t work? They do.
>Meldonium has been shown to have beneficial effects in cardiovascular, neurological and metabolic diseases due to its anti-ischaemic and cardioprotective properties, which are ascribed mainly to its inhibition of ß-oxidation and its activation of glycolysis.

Maria Sharapova was taken Meldonium. In your honest opinion how do you think that drug helped her become a better player? Do you think that it gave her an advantage over her opponents? She was taking it because she had irregular EKGS. She said this in an interview. Maybe I don't really understand how professional sports actually works.

It’s not a thought, it’s an absolute fact. It’s literally what EPO does, increase hematocrit enhance oxygen transport to the tissues so that you get way more endurance and that increases power output over time meaning more strength and less fatigue under critical conditions

Reply to The next youth sports arms race by eddytony96
There's a book I recommend on the state of soccer in the USA. Shoeless Soccer: Fixing the System and Winning the World Cup. Most of the parts of the book that applies to travel teams is relevant to other sports as well.
America punches far below it's weight class in soccer despite vastly outspending other countries. The best quote in the book I've found so far "In the USA soccer is a sport. In the rest of the world soccer is a game".
We in America tend to fund our youth sports from the bottom up. Parents pay everything. Big expensive tournaments are set up, kids get very adept at riding in the back of an SUV. Thousands of hours dedicated to riding. We're the best SUV riders in the world!
Kids in other countries are playing with the neighborhood kids in the street a quarter of a mile down the road using 4 t-shirts for goal posts. American parents have no idea how silly this whole sports complex thing is. And how far behind we are.
I could go on and on. My child won't be playing $4000+ "Elite" soccer. We play in the street. I'm fine with whatever that leads to. At least we still enjoy playing.

'Lithuanian'. A name would be a nice touch in the headline.

Sometimes you have to take extreme measures to distance yourself from Russia physically. 😄

I was confused for a second as I read as Lithuania. I was quite sure a country could not be rowing itself across the Atlantic.
