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

[Shadoww702]

What the hell was the point of announcing the results if he tested within the limits?

You wouldn't. It would not of been a positive test. If there is a maximum limit you can have and you test under the limit it's not a failed drug test. But in this case only team Pedovetkin is saying the .07 BS! Not WADA or ANYONE else is confirming this. As well as NO emails or documentation has been provided PROVING it was .07!!! That's what they should be showing! Is actual PROOF.

This is a JOKE of a lawsuit Pedovetkin would be better off just to stop doping and fight clean.

[Mr. Luthor]

That's not his point. He said Pac successfully sued so that means Povetkin has a good case. Except he left out the main detail. Pac never failed a test and Povetkin did. VADA also said Povetkin failed and took Meldonium. Why isn't he suing them for defamation?

Exactly. It's not defamation when you actually fail a drug test and admit being a user of the banned substance.

Common sense is truly uncommon.

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

the fight didnt take place because of the wbc not wilder this is nothing but a defamation lawsuit

Seems pretty simple.......

VADA president Dr. Margaret Goodman sent a letter Friday informing both camps as well as the WBC, whose title Wilder holds, of the positive test.

"This letter is to advise you that the 'A' sample urine specimen number 3969608 collected from Alexander Povetkin on April 27, 2016 in Chekhov, Russia through his participation in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) program has been analyzed for anabolic agents, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, stimulants and drugs of abuse," Goodman wrote. "The results of the analysis are as follows: Adverse. Urine specimen contains meldonium."

With all the doping corruption coming out of Russia these days, this guy has no shot at winning the law suit. He popped positive and the WBC postponed the fight because of it. Why is Wilder responsible again?

Povetkin is a cheat and should be banned. All you Americans who are supporting him and not your own fighter should be ashamed!

I don't like wilder I don't think he is good but on that note it's crazy how some people are supporting a ped head.

This article was written by World of Boxing. I wonder how much Ryabinsky paid Boxing Scene to let him publish this.

Boxing has zero integrity.

I wonder how much they'd charge me to publish an article with just pictures of my cat?

[Cinci Champ]

Not at all, everything they heap on themselves is deserving of what is now coming. You can't go on the world stage and make claims like they did and not expect ramifications for your inappropriate actions.

Like I said before it is unfortunate but Wilder is responsible for his actions and his team, he employs them. It is a shame as it is the likes of his family who suffer through his inappropriate behaviour.

u mean like failing for ped? lol if u actually think they will win this

Did DiBella and Wilder defame Povetkin, or was it VADA/WADA and the WBC?
