BTW, Meldonium is not a beta blocker. Here is a list and Meldonium is not there (use Google translate):

Препарат Кардиоселективность Внутренняя симпатомиметическая активность Липофильность
Ацебутолол + + ++
Атенолол ++ — —
Бисопролол ++ 0 ++
Карведилол — 0 ++
Лабеталол — + +++
Метопролол ++ — +++
Надолол — — —
Небиволол ++++ — ++
Пиндолол — +++ ++
Пропранолол — — +++
Целипролол ++ + —

^ That's an official list of beta blockers used in the Russian medicine. Meldonium does not block adrenaline receptors, so it's not a beta blocker and it's not a steroid drug. So why it's considered as a doping?
I just clicked on the first link you sent me https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC514719/ that said

'Anti-ischemic therapy, in particular beta-blockers.'

The snooker argument was
Beta Blockers lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate, allowing Snooker players a steadier hand

So probably similar for curling.
