Miki Ando was recommande Ephedrine

[Satoko]

Miki Ando had a cought a cold after Shizuka's FOI.

At tweeter, anyone recomannded Miki to take Sutona（a
cold medicine) included Ephedrine.

So Mao Asada advertises Sutona.

Does it mean?

^ Not sure I understand your post but if Ephedrine is the same as Ephedra it is a banned drug for athletes.

Yes in Japan, many cold medicine include Ephedrine
So Miki knows it.
And she didn't have the nedecine.

But Maotas say Miki's tweet is obstructing Mao's business.

I am even more confused by this post.

[Yukari Lepisto]

I'm just completely confused about this whole thread...

[Vash01]

I was confused by the title- sounded like a foreign language. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be just a typo.

Is Miki alleging that Mao is somehow trying to harm her by recommending she take a remedy that contains a banned substance?

[Satoko]

Miki said in tweeter, but it conflict with the dooping?
So she didn't accept this advice.
I think she has wisdom.

Nope, it's just the "fans" (or haters disguised as fans in an attempt to make the fans look bad...) being delusional. Threads like those just encourage the crazies.

Just to clarify, Mao didn't recommend Sutona to Miki; some "fan" did.

or mao is taking this cold medication w/o knowing the content

[Satoko]

I suppose anyone didn't know Sutona including banned medicine.

When will the issue about cold medicine/ban substance come to an end? The ISU & the IOC need to find ways to differentiate between taking a cold medicine vs. intentionally taking drugs to improve athletic ability. It very nearly destroyed the career of Elena Berezhnaya (& Sikharulidze).

This one will not end well, will it?

Why? I mean, if the consequence is taking a drug that improves athletic ability, does intent really matter? And can't you argue that lack of intent is what saved Berezhnaya (ie, if she was intentionally taking the banned substance, wouldn't her career have been thwarted much more profoundly?_

Threads like those just encourage the crazies.

And a thread like this belongs in the trash can.

Literally.

[Michalle]

Trying to read and understand this thread makes me feel like I've taken some kind of drug... and not just ephedrine.

[caseyedwards]

When I read the first post it definitely seemed like Mao fans were trying to get Miki in trouble for doping.

[overedge]

I think the battlin' bots looks kind of like this:

[sus2850]

I think it is not that sinister, the initial poster wanted to say that Mao Asada did an advertising campaign for that remedy (in 2010 apparently).

And maybe the poster wanted to question why an athlete endorses a product she herself should better not use while competing.

But yes, no skating news in here.
