Comments Thread For: WBC: Alexander Povetkin Investigation Continues, No Ruling Yet

[BrometheusBob.]

But wasn't the argument that he had passed some previous tests before failing the more recent ones?

Seems like if that's actually the case, it's pretty cut and dry.

I don't know the full story of what Pov's side is arguing, so not sure how they are defending that. I'm not invested in Pov's side on this, just pointing out what the investigation is concerned with. I assume if they still haven't reached a decision that Pov's team has offered an explanation about both the negative and positive tests that the WBC is looking into.

world biggest crooks! I really hope Povetkin and his promoter pull out a Graziano Rocchigiani's win over this con org..

after being accused he gets busted..
lol could u image if floyd was right about pac all along?

this alone should just make him forgotten about.

Meldonium only became against the rules this year, and Povetkin's team argued that their use of it was only before that point. I assume the investigation seeks to determine whether or not that is the case.

it wasnt his his sample any of the previous test so wat is left to talk about. they need to sideline his ass and move on with boxing.

like anyone else popped..he's in defense mode..if u give him an inch to argue he'll take mile. the wbc is wasting their time..the hammer should be dropped already. i feel pretty sure that if wilder was dirty they'd have is belt already.

That's the big question. Povetkin passed 2 or 3 tests prior to the positive sample. However, from what I read, the positive sample was below the allowable limit, so Povetkin's Team is saying the fight should've have taken place as scheduled. I think the whole thing is shady, and Povetkin should prove himself clean before his next bout, just like Vargas did.

Pedovetkin is a FKN CHEAT!!! He passes 2 or 3 tests! Fails next one, then passes another one to try and make it seem like that positive was a fluke.

Don't forget the fight was almost canceled even EARLIER because Pedovetkin wanted to start their drug testing 10 days later than agreed up on.

He was probably doing good for awhile passed a few tests and then had a bad day of training and decided a lil bit wouldn't hurt! Too bad he didn't time it right. He was close maybe off by a few hours a day at most to passing... That goes show how much of a PRO at cheating these Russians can be.

WBC promised a ruling by the end of this month. Guess that won't happen now.

Probably because Team Pedovetkin is stalling and trying to get more time to come up with better excuses??? Anyone know if theyre even cooperating anymore??? They were all BIG talk at first and now their a no call, no show

Take his mandatory spot....Ryabinski is talking about delaying this fight until the end of the year....that means Wilder will be out of the ring for months....Povtkin has no real desire to immediately or ever to exercise his mandatory position....Take it away so Wilder can give us the big fights we want to see and not waste his time with a scared procrastinating fighter.

What's the point of WBC releasing statements every week the investigation still going on? We got the message first twenty times came out and said it lol they can't even get this right

WBC guy is the Kim Kardashian of alphabet group Presidents.

Wtf with these bs status updates.

Because they're keystone cops. They have no idea what they're doing
