in the event of a positive test it's standard protocol for a postponement to be settled. let alone in a case where it's a clear case of contamination. 70 nanograms is not nearly enough to alter peorformance in the ring. is wilder just being a coward and having second thoughts? yes i understand that the WBC stopped the fight but its been 100% the WILDER camp that said the fight is OFF entirely! its all team wilder cancelling....why?

Huh? When did this "postponement" protocol get established? -
"postponement protocol"?
Is that like the "Prime Directive" or something?Comment

isn't it standard protocol to postpone a fight if someone tests positive or gets injured???
or if USADA/Haymon where involved in it to just continue on with the fight anyway like nothing happened?Comment

Protocol for a failed drug test should be a minimum 18-24 month suspension.
Why would anyone want to see a drug cheat rewarded with a world title shot?Comment

They're pissed that the fight is not happening this Saturday, understandably. Plus Wilder wasn't so sure he could beat Povetkin after all, so this is a convenient way out. Wilder is being ambiguous in his statements now too as to whether he still wants it or not. If this is the case, both fighters can just move on I suppose and they can settle the other stuff in court. The fans lose.Comment

The amount of meldonium Povetkin tested for is legal under the most recent WADA revision to meldonium testing.
In other words, unless Povetkin's levels magically increase by 100x or someone spikes his koolaid, the fight is still on.
Wilder is flat out refusing to fight and blaming it on VADA. They said no such thing. He has no legs to stand on.Comment
