Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager: Povetkin Fight is Off, Not Postponed - Off!

[brownplayboy310]

There's a conspiracy going on, meldonium was clearly taken off the market to hurt the Russian image.

They banned a substance that has NO PROVEN athletic advantage, that takes a bunch of time to dissappear from a person's system and that sells very well over the counter in Russia.

This entire meldonium bs has more to do with politics than anything else

fat corrupt yanks are probably pulling the strings behind this, as part of the whole Cold War 2.0 crap

Anyway, the Bumzquad is benefitting from this whole debacle

now Windmiller can safely go back to fighting overmatched bums

that glass chin is safe for now

If it has no clear athletic advantage then why are Russian athletes gobbling it up like crazy? Yeah... you didn't think out your wacky conspiracy theory too well, did you Dum Dum?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meldonium#Doping

All the athletes who have failed drug tests for Meldonium.

The list includes 8 Ukrainians, 32 Russians, a Swede, a Norwegian, a Bulgarian, two Romanians, a Slovakian, 2 Lithuanians, a Belarusian, 2 Georgians, and an Ethiopian.

The most failed tests were in wrestling and athletics (10 each).

This is obviously quite significant for Russian and former Eastern block athletes.

Sergei Kharitonov was suppose to fight yesterday in Bellator 154, and pulled out at the last minute due to "undisclosed illness". He was training with Povetkin ahead of their fights (he's in all the Povetkin weight lifting photos). Gotta think that Kharitonov was dirty two, and that's why he pulled out.

Seems no matter what Wilder or GGG will never fight a real fighter, always some reason. Oh well some people always get a free pass

Fixed it for you.

When he fought Perez, it was legal. And there was supposedly only a trace amount in his system. Not like he was a fully blown cheat. Try getting your facts straight.



Oh this is funny. So, somehow in your fairyland world, anyone smart enough to realize the drug hasn't even been tested fully for longevity in the system, and realize it was just a trace amount anyway... SOMEHOW they need their bu tt kicked. Wow, the density from your end is deep today there friend. Get mad the fight is off. Fine. Going full blown wacko is just ridiculous. Take a chill pill and relax. Geez



^^^^^^ This. Wilder Corporation is celebrating big time right now. All-night party... make that all-week party.



Exactly

What you naysayers refuse to accept is that this is new territory. The manufacturer themselves said they don't yet know how long trace amounts will stay in the system, nor do they know exactly how it effects all users. You can argue til the cows come home. Won't change anything.



WE aren't the ones 'making up our minds'. Again, the manufacturer says they cannot yet make a statement with any certainty as to WHEN trace elements fully leave the body of the user. And Povetkin's last test definitely falls into the 'trace elements found' category. IMO, until they can define the full life of the drug in the body, the rules should not be zero tolerance.

Bottom line: The drug needs more research, and Wilder dodged a bullet. And he knows that well. I guarantee he sleeps much better tonight than he has in months.

I don't need to read the rest of this garbage you typed.

Povetkin had his chance and blew it. He let everybody down and he got caught.

[PunchyPotorff]

I don't need to read the rest of this garbage you typed.

No, you obviously don't need any actual facts to form your wacko opinion now do you?

[$tate of Mind]

Just a shame this fight isn't happening. I was looking forward to it.

[b00g13man]

Fuck Povetkin, and fuck any ****** blaming Wilder for this.

[kafkod]

Nobody should criticise Wilder for this, that's crazy.

I've criticised him in the past for his bumb squad opponents and the easy ride he had to a world title. But he was ready and willing to fight a dangerous mandatory opponent, away from home.

Respect for that and commiserations for the time and money this has cost him are all he should be getting here.
