By Dmitriy Rogovitskiy MOSCOW (Reuters) - Athletes who tested positive for meldonium before March 1 this year could have their bans overturned after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced it was unable to establish how quickly the drug, outlawed since Jan. 1, cleared the system. WADA's announcement could allow five-times grand-slam tennis champion Maria Sharapova, who failed a test for meldonium in January, and other banned athletes to return to competition, Russian officials said on Wednesday. Sharapova, the world's highest-earning sportswoman, was among 40 Russians who failed dopes tests for meldonium after it was added to WADA's list of banned substances in January.
