Comments Thread For: Stiverne: Don't Compare My Failed Drug Test To Povetkin's Failure

[////]

The substance stiverne was busted for was actually a more established ped than meldonium which has a big debate around whether its even moe beneficial than caffiene. Povetkins levels were also something like 1/100th of the legal limit so he never officially tested dirty.

I was standing up for both Povetkin and Stiverne -- saying traces of pseudo GNC stuff shouldn't be treated with the same severity as anabolic steroids -- but I guess Stiverne is an idiot.

So now we have PED's pissing contests? "Nanny nanny nanny goat my PEDS weren't as bad as your PED's".

I like this "energy drink" excuse he's got going. Wonder if my wife will buy the idea that I blew $300 at the bar and woke up in some girl's apt because of the dope they put in those energy drinks. Only one way to find out I suppose...

Hahahaha....the ol ball and chain would definitely not believe that

stiverne has no right to talk because he got caught using PED what a hypocrite. I hope povetkin beats the piss out of him.

The dude passed 6 of 7 tests, and the substance wasn't banned until January of this year. Not only that but his levels we're so far below what it would be if he was actively doping that it was suspected he stopped before it was illegal. But you know i'm naive with my facts.

lol u were saying?

So the WBC accepted Povetkin's story that he didn't micro dose and that the meldonium in his system was residual. They also accepted Stiverne's story that he ingested the banned substance through an energy drink. Why is either story more or less truthful? Assuming both stories are true, one guy intentionally took chemicals to enhance his performance the other guy drank the wrong energy drink.

This is the WBC we're talking about...they've let a few fights go through regardless of who gets caught with whatever.

Just ban him.
