Povetkin was negative in VADA tests on 4/7, 4/8, 4/11. Positive on 4/27. Story that substance in system was from 2015 before ban is fantasy.

As for the promoter claiming he stopped taking this last September, exactly how does he know that? Has he been within eyesight of Povetkin's every waking moment since then? That's the only way he could know.

I'm more than happy to see guys who get caught with anabolics get banned. They're scourge. If it's not anabolic, it's a waste of time and money banning over it.
Also it just broke that Povetkin was negative on 3 prior tests, so he just took the drug recently. This is a decision he made knowing the consequences.Last edited by TheUptownKid; 05-14-2016, 02:35 PM.

Even those rooting for Povetkin will admit he's been su****ious for a while now. If Wilder wants to fight is cool. But the WBC can not sanction this fight. Their clean sport program will become a farce. And if they do sanction this fight, VADA skills cease doing business with them.

Got to wonder how this is going to play out.
It seems that the 70 nanograms is within VADA's "acceptable level" or whatever as I understand it.
But..
With that tweet of Dan Rafael's that Pigeons just posted, it looks like Povetkin was trying to pull an okey-doke.
