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

[VatoMulatto]

It's the same stuff Maria Sharpova was busted for. Meldonium was banned only this year so it's a substance that's been legal to take for anyone all these years and now all of a sudden WADA decides it's illegal. Povetkin should've known better but I'm sick and tired of WADA. One year a certain substance is legal and the next year you're a CHEATER if you use the same stuff again.

Fight against real hardcore drugs like steroids, nandrolone, blood-doping, (EPO) masking agents for steroids..etc but stop making all these legal supplements illegal.

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

Wow..........

[Pigeons]

Boxers have got to be either the dumbest or the most arrogant a*sholes on the face of this earth. This mother ****er knows he is being randomly tested but still decides to dope. What a ****ing tool! **** this piece of shi*t along with every other moron that agrees to random testing and still ****ing juices. ****ing ignorant ****s. **** them!

[turnedup]

Just last night I asked for the over/under on Wilder failing a test due to shenanigans in Europe, who would've thunk their own man would've been the one to come up dirty. All that blood flow shhh should be banned period.

Here's the problem though. Same thing that happened with Sharapova. There is little to no medical literature on it. We dont know how long it takes to show up in a drug test or how long it takes to totally clear the system.

He can simply say he took it before it was banned and it must have shown up just now. Some drugs you can test negative for and then test positive for as metabolites enter the body from stored fat cells. Start exercising heavily and long stored metabolites show up as fat breaks down.

Yeah he probably did take it after it was banned. Good luck proving it though. There is simply not enough present knowledge about he nature of this drug.

Are PEDs really that big of a deal? Let's be honest, the majority of athletes use them.

To throw a baseball or hit a baseball or run for long periods (track, soccer, tennis, etc..) i agree it only harms them but also integrity of sport. I have witnessed it first hand so i know its a problem but thats another story. But for the football players that hit and especially in a combat sport with no head gear yes its a major issue.

Took the fight to Russia. Agreed to the stipulations. Gave approximately zero ****s regarding the negotiations. Meanwhile his opponent is juicing it up. I smell pussy!

You gotta give props to Wilder if he decides to continue. He wins even if he loses the fight.

It's the same stuff Maria Sharpova was busted for.

Dude it's used to increase blood flood and oxygen for stamina so won't get tired something a boxer will benefit from by not gassing out sharapova needed it to try and stop Serena from kicking her ass in tennis and Sasha needed it so wilder wouldn't whoop his ass his results before that came back negative it was test taken the 27th that came back positive his story don't hold up if it's in your blood and urine the prior tests would of turned up dirty

Marco Huck...

for a minute and a few- years was "relatively Pecial!". [Remember, Billy Conn did same think in there against "brown" b??]
Povetkin type of fighter he HAS GENERALLY IMPROVED.
That drug is newly banned.
