Sorry @munna219777 missed the question. Anyway to be honest I am not very well aware about the drug. Only knew that it was introduced to be used as an anti ischaemic drug ( prevention of heart attack in simple words ). But still very much limited use. I never used it and have not seen anyone to prescribe. After reading few articles about the drug here is the summary : the drug acts by a mechanism which decreases oxygen use by our body cells. And also use far less energy when burning the fuel for body , that is glucose. And now this spare oxygen can help you immensely when you are doing exercises. Will increase your exercise tolerance to a limit that can be used by the athletes to boost their performance. About availability I don't think it is readily available in India. I have not seen. Also please keep in mind that Meldonium probably isn't US FDA approved ( I am not sure , but most probably ).
Men's Light Fly (46-49kg) LADON Rogen PHI vs LAISHRAM Devendro Singh (4) IND
Men's Bantam (56kg) THAPA Shiva IND vs YERALIYEV Kairat KAZ
Women's Fly (48-51kg) HMANGTE Mery Kom IND vs REN Cancan CHN
Our 3 hopes for Olympic Qualification. Even if they lose in Semi-Finals, they will need to win the 3rd and 4th bout. I am surprised that how competitive and difficult it is now to qualify for Olympics. It is easier to win Gold Medal in Asian Games, Commonwealth Games then to qualify for Olympics.
Mary Kom fails to qualify from this event.Devendro lost his match/bout but can still qualify if he beats the other losing semi-finalist. However,Mary Kom will need to reach at ATLEAST the semi-finals of World Championship of Boxing Championship which will be held in May. She can certainly make Semi-finals of World Championship do let's hope for the best.
Shiva qualifies for Rio Games, heartbreak for Mary Kom , devendro will play for 3rd place match tommorow aginst third seeded mongolian hope he qualifies for olympics
