"The investigation will take a couple of months, the drugs will have cycled out of his system by then."

- Ryabinsky, probably

Are we supposed to care? Povetkin can move back to the end of the line. He should be a ****ing outcast for ruining a fight every hardcore fan was excited about. Now Wilder is going to take on an Arreola-type while he waits to see how the other heavyweight matchups shake out and fans are screwed again.

Why not just test him round the clock for the next 3 months instead and reschedule the fight so wilder can get his $5 million that he deserves.

This is laughable at this point. I mean they are seriously acting like they did nothing wrong. Like this is just regular business as usual. It's pretty embarrassing for his promotion.

I didn't know his B sample tested positive too. What is to argue? He failed. Strip him of his mandatory position. Stiverne should become the mandatory or put stiverne & pulev in a final eliminator. I don't know what is more pathetic the posters who defend Povetkin or povetkin's promoter actung like nothing happened...

How much meldonium was found in the B sample?

The WBC will re-order the mandatory after Wilder's voluntary defense in the summer because the WBC needs the sanctioning fees from that $7M purse in order to survive.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. The WBC is all about money. They will smack him on the risk with a 2 month suspension. Then reschedule the fight for either November or December. Since everything is already in place they will sweeten the pot for Wilder to take the fight.
