I heard somebody on the radio, suggesting that the drug in question might have some protective effect against the development of conditions such as diabetes. Which muddies the waters - is taking medication to prevent the development of a condition, to be banned ? Or, is that allowable in some situations: for example, if there is a 'family history' of the illness in question ?
The one clear thing here, is that if the information about the prohibition of the drug was reasonably well-publicised, it should have been heeded by a high-profile professional tennis player.
