 | | Medvedev about dietary supplements in tennis: I would have died on a court if I had not accepted some of these additives12.06.2025 |
Daniil Medvedev explained why tennis players take many different dietary supplements. So, during the doping case of IGI Schwentek, it became known that at that time she took 14 drugs and additives. She did it officially - indicating in a special form.
This is not so much. Tennis players are sick. In ordinary life, you accept only paracetamol - and order. And you got sick in tennis, but you have a match the next day, and you take vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B, paracetamol - everything that can help. And now-10 additives only because of the illness.
So I am not surprised by 13 additives. I will not be surprised and if I see 30. In fact, it will surprise me if one of the tops indicates that he takes only four. That would have struck me.
I would die on the court if I had not accepted some of these additives.
Medvedev is worried about doping affairs provoked by polluted additives.
The right word is paranoia, but also fear, because no matter what you accept, you never know for sure.
We all accept protein, someone takes creatine, BCAA [amino acids with branched side chains], omega-3. These are basic additives that many ordinary people take and who simply help health. But it is not known what can happen to them. For example, some guy in some laboratory-I don’t even know where they are produced-he will simply be mistaken. And an ordinary person will not care. And someone else can break life. So yes, you are on your nerves.
Schwentek came across doping - the same as Valieva. But I received the ban for only a month
