Truth hurts doesn't it ?

You should know.

You GGG fans are allergic to the truth.

Never felt wilder had any interest in this fight to begin with.

He's back to his chummy hand picked Al Haymon opponents now.

And people wonder why Haymon cant build stars.

Hate blinds.

Povetkin pushed this fight back as far as he could and then got busted for cheating.

If anybody didn't want the fight it was that Russian dog.


Release your hate for Al Haymon...you act like you walked in and caught your mom sucking his di.ck.

De****able comments from each and every one of you.

I did not make the comment you say I did. I do not know where you got it from

No. 1-5 mg before march and 1 mg after march are considered OK. A meldonium detection is considered a failed test so automatically warrants investigation/delays but it isn't the same as being busted/dirty. That's based on the amount/recentness.

Meldonium was legal and debate raged about whether it was more of a PED than caffiene etc for many years. These are very small amounts considered to be a biproduct of meldonium's tendency to linger in the body for months after injection since the recent ban.

Povetkin's 70 nanogram level was a small fraction of even the strictest limits. So even on his "dirty" test, he wasn't dirty.

On his next test he came up clean, which is expected since 70 nanograms is bordering on the margin-of-error for many blood/urine tests.

If Wilder really wanted the fight to happen then he should have calmed down and waited for the testing to conclude. He was the one who cancelled the fight.

Thanks for the explanation.

Who's claiming it was only 70 nanograms, Povetkin's promoter or WADA? The reason I'm asking is that your post makes the issue seem cut and dry yet the organization still hasn't made a ruling yet. Do you think the recent Olympic ban of Russia's track team has anything to do with the investigation taking so long, what's the hold up?

Although Wilder was impulsive after hearing of the failed test (understandable), I think it's a moot point now since the incident took place almost a month ago and there is no resolution. How long would you expect Wilder to wait, especially if he already believes Povetkin to be a cheater?
