Exactly

Imagine this was Wilder that failed it? Jesus fuck, they'd be acting like he shot 1000mg of testosterone.

I bet you Uncle Al drugged him we just can't win

Right... But Wilder also doesn't deserve to lose that big payday, right?

Look at this piece of **** right here. Just look at the angle he's taking

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

watch the coward wilder use this to pull out of the fight he aint no G.

Salido heard vargas failed and he said good he needs all the help he can get! LETS DO THIS!!!!

It's no longer legal. What was legal in the past is irrelevant and it's that simple.

But WADA/VADA says you are wrong. They have granted amnesty/exemptions due to the length of time meldonium stays in the body. If it can be determined you took it when it was legal.

You are wrong according to the same agency who tested him.

If the fight does go forward, the WBC probably won't sanction the fight so no title on the line. With that, should Wilder go through with the fight? He stands to make a huge payday but his opponent has an unfair edge with the juice in his system.

Maybe, Wilder's team can secure a replacement opponent and keep the fight card intact.

They are sanctioning Vargas-Salido, I don't see how this would be any different. Personally, I would like to see Wilder take the fight regardless because 1) I want to see him get paid (he'd get $4.5M even in a losing effort) and 2) he has nothing to lose fighting a roided Russian fighter in Russia who a lot of people think is better than him anyway.

BBBoooMMMbbb SSSqqqUUUaaaDDD!!!

TPTB behind the Povetkin positive drug test me thinks (you know the pyramid people on the back of the dollar bill)

And another thing. It's very convenient for them to claim they stopped taking it in September...

Although meldonium was banned in January, the decision to ban it had been announced by Wada and sports organisations as early as September 2015. Sharapova said she received an email with information on the changes in December but did not read it at the time.

Before passing judgement, we need more verifiable information. If they detected a small trace, then Povetkin is a clean athlete and did everything by the rules.

If they detected large amounts, he should be screwed.


But having said that, WADA needs to take another look at their rules. Too many athletes have been busted for this drug for them to be 'dopers'. In cases like this, WADA needs to give a much longer warning to athletes.
