Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder's Handlers Reach Out To Alexander Ustinov

[Scipio2009]

how do you figure that? The substance was LEGAL up until January of this year. I'm sure a lot of boxers took it in the past. VADA and USADA do not report on fighters taking legal substances, only banned substances, so it boxers were using it in the past it would go unreported.

Alexander Povetkin pissed dirty on the 4th test for the Wilder fight, nearly three weeks after he came back clean on the 3rd test.

So either VADA screwed up (how can you miss a substance in someone's system on three straight tests) or Povetkin flirted with disaster and got burnt (ie tried to grab a taste of the stuff, believing that the added dose that he got would be all the way out of his system by the time he'd have to test again).

Only in Eastern Europe because that's where its manufactured and is not FDA approved so it wouldn't be here. Still, the point should be that Povetkin did not have the heart disease that warrants him taking the drug, so why was he taking it? It doesn't have to be labeled a performance enhancer in order to be one. Before HGH made the list of performance enhancers its still had the qualities that made it a PED so it was still wrong to take it unnecessarily, as should be the case with Melodonium.

Wilder taking Ortiz's candy away from him instead of fighting him. That won't go over so well.

1) Stiverne, 2) Ustinov, 3) Washington, ..., 4) Arreola.

Wilder vs Ortiz is the next best fight at the moment. Someone's 0 has to go and someone will definitely get knocked the **** out.

I wonder what that would mean for his shot at Ortiz for the interim belt and shot at Fury Klitschko winner. Would that line up a potential future Ortiz fight.

And people wonder why haymon is getting sued

Of course he used it in a way to help him in training to increase his stamina..etc. It wasn't wrong for him to take it during the time it was legal but some people still feel that he should be considered a long time cheater if it's true that he has been on Melodonium for several years, I disagree with that.

Because his promoter is still suing Wilders adviser. At least Haymon will be working with Top Tank soon. Brandon Rios said on fighthype that he might be on the PBC soon.

Rios said his contract with Top Rank is running out soon, which is why he probably said that.
