导出博客文章Following the lead of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the NHL has added meldonium
to its list of banned substances.Deputy commissioner Bill Daly confirmed the
addition in an email to The Associated Press on Wednesday. It was first reported
by the Russian news agency Tass.The change goes into effect for the upcoming
season. The NHL and NHL Players Association had to agree to add meldonium to its
list of prohibited substances, as with any changes to the performance-enhancing
drug program.Daly says that decision was made for the same reason WADA banned
meldonium on Jan. 1.Tennis star Maria Sharapova and swimmer Yulia Efimova have
tested positive in recent months for the endurance-boosting drug. Sharapova is
appealing her two-year ban.Russia switched out its roster for the International
Ice Hockey Federation Under-18 tournament in the spring over fears that players
could test positive for meldonium. Russia used its U17 team in the tournament
instead.The IIHF uses WADAs prohibited substance list.The drug, which is
typically used for heart conditions, is not approved for use in the United
States. It increases blood flow, which improves exercise capacity by carrying
more oxygen to the muscles. There is significant debate among doping experts
over whether meldonium, also known as mildronate, actually enhances performance.

.ca. Kerry, Just watched the shootout in the Coyotes/Leafs game and I have to
ask, why was the James van Riemsdyk goal allowed to count? All of the video
