Why is there tainted meat in Russia and Mexico?

Different countries have different standards when it comes to things. Countries with high levels of poverty (Russia, India, Mexico, etc) are worried about feeding their citizens. Once you get past that point, then you can worry about setting up Whole Foods and trying to eat well. Have you never been outside of the US? Sorry Mr. World Traveller. I was just asking a question.

That seems logical. So I take it that you aren't buying Povetkin's excuse, then? Hell no, I don't like the excuse in general but if you get popped for something that is actually used in the production of livestock and the samples taken are in trace amounts it is at least a viable theory. Synthetics might be tested on animals but not on livestock, because they already have "good" methods that work with livestock so why mess around with unproven bull**** when you can just use the real thing. Unless Russia wants to say Osterine is of common use on the cattle they produce, and test on their livestock prove that out.

Our food supply chain is no different. Hormones, pesticides and other harmful toxins are common in our beef and other animals.

So if a Mexican boxer gets popped for Clenbuterol which is a favorite of cattle producers in Mexico it at least makes some sense. Osterine to my knowledge wouldn't be used in cattle because they would use a real steroid like Clenbuterol not a less effective synthetic that is more expensive. That seems logical. So I take it that you aren't buying Povetkin's excuse, then?

Google it. They do it to enhance their live stock. I don't need google to teach me common sense. I can think for on my own.

From my understanding in Mexico they feed livestock steroids. I don't think that is uncommon in many countries. I don't know about Russia...

In Mexico, they want the cows to be strong and cut, no pun intended but that's why they eject them with steroids so the meat is more tender. Probably the same reason in russia. Yep this, SARM's are experimental type of drugs I'm not sure If they're classified as drugs yet because they're still in the process of trying to fully develop these things and they might never reach their full potential because of the finance that would be required to carry on the research. SARM's for the reason that they are 1, unpredictable and 2, not reached their full potential is the reason they are used primarily on animals and not humans even though human inevitably still use them basically because they're like a very, very weak steroid without the side effects it promotes growth and the ability to cut fat but you won't be making inhuman like gains from then. It's plausible If you can let Stiverne off with the drink thing but maybe a look at the livestock in Russia where he gets this meat from would be worth looking into to further investigate his counter claim.

Steroids allow for bigger healthier animals, and bigger healthier cows mean more money per cow. If regulations are lax that is a boundary that ranchers will push because it is something that has been done for a long time proven to work as intended. They can leach into the meat but for most people it really doesn't matter because it is trace amounts, unless a person is eating an absolute ton of beef the amount of steroid taken in can be dealt with by the body naturally. It might have long term consequences but eating red meat has long term consequences which one will get you first?

The meat here in the UK is meant to be bad, although they rarely mention it. However, as a British person, if you wish to donate blood in a foreign country, many of them won't allow it if you have consumed British beef within x amount of years. Obviously we had the big issue with Bovine spongiform encephalopathy in Cows, however it's not just because of that. Many people feel the meat in the UK is very contaminated.

In Mexico, they want the cows to be strong and cut, no pun intended but that's why they eject them with steroids so the meat is more tender. Probably the same reason in russia. How does this even make sense? Have you ever tried eating horse (who are strong and cut) meat? That meat is hard af and if you dunno how to cook it, it is not very enjoyable to eat.

Less regulations = more lee way in what farmers can and cant do. Whos to say they are right or wrong. U.S. allows GMO while others countries have a ban on it etc etc. I'm definitely not a fan of GMOs. But it's rare to hear a US athlete blame tainted meat for testing positive for PEDs.

Because Floyd Mayweather obviously, do you even NSB?

Let me guess, Povetkin ate bad meat and it caused a false positive on his test. Man these things always seem to happen at the wrong time.

Are the agricultural practices in these countries really that bad? pretty much the case in Mexico; doubt that the tainted meat schtick will stick in Russia, though

Are the agricultural practices in these countries really that bad? Sounds like you need to read this book. https://covers.openlibrary.org/b/id/6499629-M.jpg Eye opening stuff, about food production here in the US.
