Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter Sues Deontay Wilder For $34.5 Million!

Who you calling bitch, bitch? They postponed it, pending the investigation, which has apparently wrapped. If you read the article, it says the WBC postponed the fight AFTER Wilder refused to fight Povetkin. That trace amount of Meldonium can't benefit Povetkin. Even if he had a full dose in his system, it's not a steroid that would have given him great strength. It increases endurance. It might as well had been caffeine.

End of the day it's NOT Wilder get investigated. It's Pedvetkin.
WBC has ZERO problem with what Wilder did and so do MOST boxing experts. It's only quacks!!! Who want a guy to fight a cheat. If the investigation comes back cool then Pedvetking is still #1 Challenger.

What you gonna say if he gets popped again??? You should start planning for those excuses now.

"WBC halts Alexander Povetkin heavyweight title fight over positive drug test"

"e World Boxing Council postponed the heavyweight title fight in Moscow involving challenger Alexander Povetkin, who tested positive for the banned performance-enhancing drug Meldonium.

“Keeping the priority of safety and also the principle of justice, the WBC will continue the investigation into the case,” it was written in a WBC-prepared statement."

This article isn't remotely objective lol

Povetkin alleges that he last took Meldonium in September of 2015. It's hard to believe that it would require more than 7 months to be eliminated naturally, and even harder to believe after testing clean, and then testing dirty. Conspiracy theories aside, that alone should raise several red flags.

There are anabolic steroids that completely leave the body faster than that, but without an investigation I suppose we have to wait to see what really happened.

I took a pill for health reasons during 10 months, and one year after I finished the treatment, it was still present on my body. It didn't clean up completely until after three years later. I'm not saying it's the case, but you have to know that there are cases in which it happens.

Unless I'm mistaken by what I've read but they're probably going to win this lawsuit as he fell within the competition limits. So this IS defamation and the fight should have gone on. Just look at what half the posters in here are saying "Pedvekin" :/... Pac won a lawsuit over mayweather from what I recall and dude was only accused. Povetkin was not only accused but they pulled out. This isn't good for them..they may not win 34 mil but they're going to win. Testing within the threshold isn't even considered "failing" a test.

I don't know much about this as other posters but I'm trying to put 2 and 2 together and it seems Povetkin is technically in the right. Right? Someone explain if I'm wrong please

not a good job of putting 2 and 2 together. Povotkins got no case, this is actually a counter suit in an attempt to minimize the payout to the suit that Wilders people have already filed against them. As for Pac he had not failed a drug test like Povotkin, even at that he did not win anything from Mayweather. They squashed it in the lead up to their fight.

Damn Wilder, Hymen's done got you caught up. They know what I know.....they set him up for that easy cash grab. You could sniff this one out 5 miles down the road.

Time to settle out of court, test Povetkin & make this fight part of the settlement. Wilder couldn't wait to run back to Alabama. He wouldn't even wait for the investigation to conclude before refusing to fight Povetkin & trashing him. You can run, but you can't hide, Wilder.

It could be possible the testing agency made a mistake in announcing that Povetkin failed a test. That has nothing to do with Wilder, Povetkin's issue should be with the testing organization and the WBC.

In regard to the investigation, it's still going, so Wilder made the right move in taking a stay busy fight in the mean time.

Kigali,

No bro. lol. WBC CAlled off the fight AFTER Wilder left the UK and DID NOT SHOW UP.

The sad part is... Povetkin was CLEAN on the last test.

Amazing here. You explain to people how the later tests can come up positive after negative, and just blank stares.

Let me 'splain it to you like you are in kindegarden.

Stuff is stored in fat deposits.

The harder you work out... different stored fats get burned off.

As Povetkin trained harder as it got closer to the fight, those fats were being burned off that had trace amounts. The lab making the drugs even tells you that.

Now... since that is too big an idea to handle.... let me splain it to you this way.

Go pour diesel in your nearly full gas tank... or go pour some other crap in your gas tank.

Your car may run for a bit.

Now drain your gas tank... and pour the crap in and add a bit of gas.

You are going to blow your engine or clog it up.

I am seriously wondering how some people are just so ****** to understand basic health and science.

VADA and the WBC were not the ones pulling out of the fight and trash taking Povetkin.

Wilder LEFT the UK, No SHOWED for a fight before any decisions were even made.

WBC was forced to pospone the fight.

Wilder then said it was canceled.

VADA merely reports the testing.... they don't do anything else or label anyone a cheater, etc.

In any case, the last samples by VADA were clean anyway.
