meldonium gives sufferers of heart and circulatory conditions more “physical capacity and mental function” — and a similar boost to healthy people. Meldonium was banned because it aids oxygen uptake and endurance."

its not a ped doe.. they just have bad hearts in russia

Basically its Viagra without the boner.

"Meldonium can take months to leave body, says drug maker"

It was banned only a few months ago. So even if he took it pre-ban he could still get caught now.

I hope they make a sane exemption and find a way to make the fight happen.

I'm sure you would be this pragmatic if the shoe was on the other foot.

Meldonium was only banned a few months ago and can stay in your system detectable for months... Before that it was considered a legal supplement or whatever. Probably he's been taking it long term and it stayed in his system post-ban.

Have a feeling they'll make some sort of exemption for this

I read that about it staying in the system for a long time. My question for that is, how much was found, was it trace or more? That information would help determine if Povetkin took the drug recently or pre-ban.

Two sources with knowledge of test have told ESPN that Povetkin tested positive for meldonium with title fight vs Wilder a week away.

... Wilder is lucky again. I'm glad for his daughter...

[extracurRICular]

i knew it....Povetkin has a weak heart
drop this fight
bring on King Kong vs Wilder

I'd be all in on that for sure....but how long till that fight happens? I was really looking forward to Wilder getting his toughest test to date....

[NEETzsche]

wilder should just take a nice % of his purse and still knock him out

as much as i was looking forward to the fight, it should be called off

what if wilder gets KOed or worse? it will be a huge blow to boxing
