Comments Thread For: Povetkin Tests Positive For Banned Substance, Fight in Jeopardy!

WTF, I mean what the **** is wrong with this guy. Why would he get back on the PEDs with the amount of oversight and scrutiny he's under? Maybe PEDs are addicting - he tried to get off of them but he relapsed.

It's clearly an issue with his masking agents. That's why he didn't pop for Meldonium until the 4th time (and at a microscopic level at that) and why he didn't pop for Ostarine until the night before the fight.

Just wait for the article claiming contamination due to the microscopic levels of Ostarine that were detected.

So this is another fight Povetkin has caused to be cancelled. Great. Give him a life ban, this cheat shouldn't be given any more chances.

Its a shame Povetkin turned out to be a cheat, what a waste of space

Wilder desperately needs an opponent to legitimise him at the top of the division

Joshua has Klitschko, Wilder currently has nobody

this the 2nd time he gets caught by VADA? You'd think he'd get it the first time.

Povetkin should be banned from boxing. What a piece of ****.

Na bro just has a heart condition. Just like the other 1000 Russian athletes

Right?!

Props to Floyd for helping to clean up the sport.

Funny how all the people suspect and claim Anthony Joshua as steroids abuser when he never got caugh but Povetkin did it twice with mediocre physique...

Povetkin (Caught twice for a doping)

Joshua hasn't done VADA testing yet. I'm looking forward to him fighting for the WBC belt at some point because then he will be forced to undergo VADA inspection.

What is with Russia and Steroids? Another embarrassment.

Russia has a serious steroids problem. At this point all athletes from the former Soviet Union have to be considered suspect.

Ryabinsky is bringing out the typical paranoid Russian conspiracy theories to explain this on twitter, hinting that the American laboratories have spiked Povetkin. I doubt that will be the case they'll bring to defend themselves with the WBC. Sulaiman may regret starting this whole WBC/VADA clean boxing programme.

Absolutely embarrassing.
