Comments Thread For: Wilder vs. Povetkin - WBC Finally Issues Full Ruling on Failed Test

[yoz]

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

Right, OK...

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.

Because the level of said drug found in his system was very miniscule it was more than likely a case of him not being dehyrated which would make his urine less diluted on that day. Were talking a level 14 times smaller than wada said would be enough to constitute failing at this point. Ive failed urine tests 2 weeks after smoking one joint when i was a little dehydrated and my urine was dark yellow. Ive also passed tests after a week of heavy smoking by drinking massive amounts of water and pjssing a few times before the test and my urine came out clear as water

Not difficult to understand really The ruling is that he is presumed innocent off committing the crime of taking meldronium after Jan 1st as there insufficient evidence to prove that he did.

It's for sure not clear. Idc about the meldronium bs. I care about the fight. So if Povetkin is just all good now when does the Wilder fight happen? 4mos, 6mos or after his year of testing? When/If the fight goes down does World of Boxing's purse bid win from the postponed fight stand or is there a whole new purse bid since this situation may have increased or decreased the value of this fight? That's the interesting questions to me right now, not more substance I can't pronounce bs.

WBC is forcing povetkin to do 1 year straight of vada testing.

This is insane.

No one gives a fck About PEDs in boxing give them more PEDs, I want exciting fights, not clean boxers.

Fck VADA and WBC, this drug testing is a huge mistake, accomplishes nothing for this sport.

Fighters today fight once or twice a year, they'll be fine.

You get 1 good fight for every 10 you watch today.

Enough is enough. This sport is on its death bed and your worried about PEDs. Thats the last thing we need to worry about.

We Should be giving them more steroids, not less.

Dibella knows Wilders days are numbered. He's trying to milk his heavyweight for all he can get before he is forced to sacrifice the first loss.

Oh I didn't realize steroids did that to them, last I checked it was getting punched in the head over And over.

That's a straw man fallacy.

You specifically said:

I'm simply proving out that the number of fights one has, is irrelevant to getting damaged or killed.

If those all happened WITHOUT PEDs, what do you think would happen WITH PEDs?
