Suliaman should've just taken a photo of himself sat on a fence back in May and circulated it to the media once per week since then.

Boxing is so unorganized it is embarrassing!

If his 3 test prior to the positive test were clean then shouldn't it be clear as day that he used Meldonium leading up to the fight??? How can he pass his first 3 test then all of a sudden it shows up on his last two? Sounds fishy! Oh well no one actually cares about drug testing in this sport unless it involves certain fighters. Just look at Salido-Vargas, had Haymon been involved I guarantee there would be a 2 page article from Thomas Hauser on Boxingscene.

Russia runs a state doping program so it stands to reason that undocumented masking agents exist.

Nothing is ever 100% and it let him down on one test.

Cool, now we can hopefully move on and get that fight now. I'm sure Povetkin is not excited to hear about a personalized 1-year VADA testing plan at his expense, but it beats not getting a Wilder fight.

Doesnt really matter, povetkin will be irrelevent without his meldodium. Wont be surprised if stiverne beats his ass to be honest.

Stiverne will lose decision

Did they mention the amount in all that info? Obviously the implication is its under 1.0 micrograms based on those limits being "no fault", but I didn't see Povetkin's samples mentioned outright as far as how much like I seen so much mentioned outright. Probably nothing to be concerned with at all with that, but I find that a little odd if nothing else. So Ryabinsky's word that Povetkin tested under 1.0 micrograms is the only public disclosure of the amount I've seen.

And not much of a "full ruling" here. Basically they say Povetkin is going to have to pay for special testing at his own expense and if he's popped will be punished via blah blah blah. Lotsa key **** left out as per usual with the WBC guy. Does he get his title shot back if he tests clean for some period of time? If he does get his opportunity back through testing clean for some period of time does the "postponement" status of the first match mean that World of Boxing's purse bid stands or will there be a new purse bid? Those are the questions which need to be answered & have needed to be answered for awhile already.

WBC guy sucks. He doesn't know how to run a corrupt alphabet group as good as his father. Just like in boxing where an exceptional boxers son won't ever come close to reaching his dads heights in boxing, a exceptionally corrupt alphabet group Presidents son won't ever come close to reaching his dads heights in corruption.

Not much new there.

All I see is that Povetkin has to use VADA at his own expense.

It doesn't say whether Deontay "Ducker" Wilder has to fight him or not.

Wilder didn't duck...and he sure as hell didn't cheat.

As if he wanted to fight Wilder in the first place.

Stiverne will lose decision

I doubt it.

Povetkin won't be juicing so look for him to lose a UD.
