This is how it should be. Force the coward wilder to man up and fight not hide behind this so-called drug controversy. Didn't we all know this would happen though. That chicken wilder would have to be dragged kicking and screaming before he would face his first real fight since stiverne? Why face a real fighter when there are defences to be made against the likes of chisora or tarver or briggs.

This is good, otherwise Wilder will keep fighting lowly opposition for as long as possible and there is nobody good in the high WBC rankings so that would make team wilder very happy

Povetkin should be monitored and as soon as that stuff is out of his system the fight should happen.

How is this good? While Wilder oppo has been porous, if I were Wilder team, I would not put him in with a drug cheat.

The man's life is at stake, you have to send a message that using drugs for an edge will not be rewarded.

If anyone is getting sued, it's Ryabinsky.

First of, it's not proved that Povetkin used meldonium in 2016. It's not the first case when last traces of meldonium aren't detected in all the probes. So the most probably that's what is with Povetkin. And in this case fight must be rescheduled.

They tested Povetkin on 4/7, 4/8, and 4/10 and those results were negative.

Now on 4/27, his test come back positive....of course they have proof and when they retest his B sample, it will show the same results.

If the fight had taken place 6 months ago Meldonium wouldn't have mattered, seems kind of silly to make this big of a fuss now.

Maybe because the drug is illegal now

See me??? Didn't realize I owed him a fight.

He signed the contract, and he's walked away without VADA investigating the full evidence, walked away and declared he'll never fight Povetkin. We know why of course. More to do with a glass chin than any 0.7 nanograms of Meldonium.

Why didn't wilder stay and fight even if it had to be a non title fight? He could have kept his belt and still made a ton of cash. The answer, of course, lies in chicken wilders pea sized heart.

ped's have lasting effect..he should be suspended and tested randomly throughout that year. he should not be able to come back to boxing unless he is willing to test randomly for the rest of his career even when he doesnt have a fight.

Fight someone on PED??? You can't put a price tag on your life. The man is getting punched in the head for a living.

it is proved that he passed 3 other drug ttest prior..sounds like he tried to flush his system after using this and possible other things. IT DIDNT WORK..
