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

[Eff Pandas]

Are you serious? Something is rotten in Denmark?
Microdosing??? taking 0.07 micro gm? Can you imagine how much is it????

This ammount can only be a trace from previous usage of this substance.

Yes, its 0.07 micrograms.

If he'd have tested consistently for it fair enough. But he passed several tests before the one he got popped for. That seems suspect to me.

I don't think anybody is surprised at all! On Wilder Side I think he should sue, something must be done when Cheaters get caught, not just a damn suspension but they should also take a HIT Financially and I'm not talking about a Slap on the Wrist "FINE" either

RIDICULOUS then you have IDIOTS like Browne who would argue that he is clean only to find out from his B Sample that he is dirty and now it is just silence from him and Hatton Promotions

I will be honest, I thought he was Dirty vs Mike Perez to be honest but of course I'm not going to run around posting that without any proof but something did not look right that fight

What are you? He could not be dirty against Perez as at that point meldonium was perfectly legal. Do you try to suggest that if he tested postive but much lower than allowed trace of a substance that was legal 5 months ago than it means that he's heavy cheater?

Im screaming it now and have been. And look at that....its true

It's OK. I admit your right to do so. One question - about which exactly steroid we're talking about?

[Pigeons]

This..

This is the obvious thing to take out of this, instead we're talking how much was traced. In Russia alone there were 27 cases as of the end of March. I mean, are there really that many a athletes from Jan 1 til the end of March that have heart conditions they told no one about?

Just like the Mexicans are all eating meat tainted with clenbutorol.

[Russian Crushin]

I think this actually blow a whole in sharapova case, it seems most athlete in russia were using this drug pure to gain an advantage, not because they suffer from a heart condition.

It was a legal substance until this year in boxing. Vada is not the DEA, they dont deal with that side of the issue.

Fight needs to be called off now!!! Ban Povetkin PERM from boxing!!!

What did he do to you? Something personal?

Do you know that Povetkin is technically clean according to rules of organisation that conducts the test? Still want to ban him for life?

Or is this a worry for Wilder being KO'd?

[Fetta]

It's OK. I admit your right to do so. One question - about which exactly steroid we're talking about?

PED's in general. I cant pinpoint an exact one cause i think they are dirty on multiple levels with multiple drugs. Depends on sport

I said before that if i Wilder i would have brought my own water, food, and had a very close person i trusted there for every test to make sure nothing got swept under the rug, bribed to change, or anything else they can come up with.

Russian people are nice, from the ones i know, but for sports i wouldnt trust them for a second

[eco1]

You mean replace one roided fighter with another!? Lol..

yes. Ortiz would give all HW hell thou.

[Sweet Pea 50]

Ffs Povetkin you mug.

Really wanted to see this fight

Was gonna be huge for the division with Parker Takam the same day/night.

Fight isn't completely dead in the water yet, bud.

Still have a chance of Wilder swinging from Alabama and landing all the way in Moscow on Povetkin's "enhanced" chin.

Oh wow.. You've messed up big time there Povetkin. You had a fairly winnable title shot aswell, albeit for a secondary championship.

I wonder if he could get one of those exceptions that Floyd managed to get

Floyd got an exemption for saline. Not for a banned substance. Not really the same, is it?

I wish I could say that I'm surprised to see certain posters on here advocating for leniency towards Povetkin....but I'm not. Their double standards have been clear for quite a while now.

We know they'd be screaming to high heaven to ban Wilder from the sport for life if he had been the one caught cheating.
