Comments Thread For: Roy Jones Jr. Backs Countryman Povetkin, Says He's Not To Blame

[Liondw]

The big issue is that they said it seems that Povetkin took the now banned substance as recently as April, so that makes him guilty, if true.

Somebody needs to teach RJ about *** here in America...Boxer's Lives Matter.

Wilder isn't the problem, Povetkin is. If somehow it can be proven that the meldonium was consumed before it was banned, then I'm sure Deontay would have no problem rescheduling a fight between the two. Until then, it's not Wilder's problem, and he's not denying any fans. Povetkin denied the fans by failing his test.

You're saying this right ^^^ after you said this below vvvvv
Makes no sense.

I'm glad that WBC is doing due diligence in trying to get to the truth instead of having a jerk reaction, one way or another.

If more fans had your outlook it would be much better. Unfortunately, many of them are screaming 'cheater' so loud it makes it impossible for them to think first, talk later.

j0zef made a good point by stating no official statement on exact details had been made available to the public. In my opinion, Povetkin is to blame. In my opinion, Povetkin ducked Wilder. In my opinion, Povetkin shouldn't get another shot at wilder's title because he failed a drug test.

My opinions are my opinions. I don't have actual proof to back up my opinions.

LOL, I'll never get over how funny it is when you here something about Roy and being Russian.

"Roy backs countryman Povetkin" that is just funny as hell.

[Shadoww702]

I guess I don't understand 3 passed tests before a failed... How did the traces slip past the first 3 tests???

With MAGIC!!!

Or

Wilder snuck into Russia in the middle of the night and when Pedveken was sleeping injected him and then snuck back out of the country....

[ShoulderRoll]

Lol @ countryman.

[Shadoww702]

It was urine

Some people??? Make up any excuses. In this day in age with all we know about CHEATS. You would think they would want a clean sport?? But NO they want to blame the guy who DIDNT fail his drug test???

They've narrowed it down from April 11th to April 27th.
