He said the same thing about James Toney after he got popped, lol.

Didn't even have other fighters who got caught???

Who knows, most likely. The guy has trained a shyt load of fighters over the last couple decades.

Im surprised Teddy Atlas hasn't said anything yet

He probably is and has been, that stuff he was on is big in Russia. Either way man, anyone gets busted your credibility is questioned & your career should have an * next to it Barry Bonds status.

To be fair, "that stuff" has been legal to take the past 45 years, it was just made a banned substance in January. Doesn't excuse Povetkin one bit though just sayin.

according to boxinscene rules, he is now a cheater and has been cheating since his amateur debut.

And here we are with Example A of the 'everything is always black and white' crowd....

...and a rampant roid taking cheat.

Cuz with the 'everything is always black and white' crowd.... apparently even trace elements in the system qualifies as 'rampant roid taking cheat'. SMDH

All russians fighters are on roids . ALL OF THEM. GGG included

And yet another goofball bit from the Everything Is B&W Coalition.

[Nightfall]

He's a honest guy,good athlete that got caught cheating.

Everyone knows Roach is a very shady character who has trained dodgy fighters. One of his fighters claimed he would faint if he lost a millimetre of blood for a very long time. Another issue here is Roach said this when he was in Russia. Did anyone really expect Roach to say otherwise?

Listen to Roach, a legend of the sport who's been around Alexander, knows the game and fighters inside out.. Povetkin is not a dope cheat.
