Comments Thread For: Povetkin Tests Positive For Meldonium, Wilder Title Off

[Pigeons]

A guy with stamina issues using a PED that helps recovery and endurance? Just a coincidence guys, move along.

[Russian Crushin]

Why does it take almost 3 weeks for it to actually be revealed?

His promoter claims they only found small amounts, which points to 2015 use:

"On one hand the substance has been found, on the other the concentration of said substance shows that, it was used in 2015, before it was banned. So no decision at the moment."

WBC decision will decide if fight is still on.

lol it was very obvious

Wilder beats even this roided version of Povetkin

[Fetta]

The ban only came into effect Jan 1st, so that's 4 months it would have to stay in his system if he was taking it and stopped as soon as the ban came in.

Has Povetkin said he was taking this stuff but stopped in Sept?

I'm not trying to make excuses for him, but I find it hard to believe that he would have been taking it in April when he knew it was being tested for and the tests were catching people.

You don't need to take Melodium for months though. It's not like steroids. If Povetkin was on it, it would have better for him to have fought Wilder last year when Melodium wasn't banned and wasn't even being tested for.

Ryabinskiy says Povetkin did take meldonium in September, but didn't take it after it was banned in January. I'm kinda speechless... #boxing

Letters by WADA went out in Sept to stop taking this cause you will be popped. If he stopped in Sept thats 8/9 months and im not buying that its still in his system. If he continued then he tried to cheat knowing this is watched. Either way he got caught and no to blame but himself.

Got busted and now trying use the Maria sharapova excuse but didn't test positive until the test results taken in 27th when drug testing was implemented on the first of April so how the Sasha fans going spin this, either vada was doing crappy work and didn't test him until April 27th for first time or he cheated

[about.thousands]

This is the question that needs to be asked

The problem with Povetkin's alleged story is that I'm also told Povetkin's 3 prior samples came back negative. #boxing #microdosing

Didn't take 3 weeks bro his results on the 27th came back dirty so vada going either have to answer question of if that was first time testing Sasha 26 days after testing was implemented or his other result before then came back clean and he was busted cheating

[bigjavi973]

wow they just admitted to using that drug before. Povetkin's career is a PED sham.

"oh it was recently banned"

so fucking what he was still knowingly taking extra shit. Weak heart? Fuck outta here gullible dumbasses.
