    Those who do illegal things should be banned! All boxing federations must be tough on this issue. Some names and some countries should not be important. Boxing fans wants clean struggle!

      Stiverne also testing positive may make things difficult (I know Ostarine is on a whole different level than the previous DMAA and meldonium plotlines, but a court might not care).
      "DMAA has been temporarily removed from military stores in the US. Its use has been linked to several reports of serious, life-threatening side effects which appears to be the main reason why the World Anti-Doping Agency added DMAA to its prohibited substances list in 2010."

      V. WBC BOARD OF GOVERNOR’S RULING

      The WBC Board of Governor’s ruling is based on the facts as known to the WBC at the time of the ruling. Based on the adverse finding of Stiverne’s “A” November 4, 2016 sample, and taking into consideration Stiverne ingested a dietary supplement that contained DMAA without knowledge that he was consuming a banned substance, WBC has ruled as follows:

      a. The WBC CBP considers Stiverne’s adverse finding a first violation of the WBC CBP under its Protocol;

      b. The WBC will not withdraw its sanction of the Bout at this point in light of the fact that there is sufficient time to put in place preventative and remedial measures to protect the health and safety of the Bout’s participants;

      c. VADA, pursuant to the WBC CBP, will design a specific testing protocol for Stiverne at Stiverne’s own cost and expense. The VADA-designed protocol will commence as soon as feasible after this ruling and will continue until after the Bout and for six months thereafter;

      d. In the event there is an adverse finding concerning any of Stiverne’s samples during the time prescribed above, the WBC shall immediately: (1) suspend Stiverne from participation in any WBC-sanctioned events indefinitely; (2) divest Stiverne from any WBC title or any other rights he might have at the time; and (3) impose any and all available penalties under the CBP without further inquiry;

      e. The WBC shall work with Stiverne to design a program consisting of 40 hours of community or social work in the area of doping prevention education to young athletes; and

      f. Stiverne shall pay a fine of $75,000 to the WBC CBP.

      It will in no way make things difficult. DMAA is banned due to health risks, not performance enhancement. There's that, and that the WBC already ruled on it and chose not to remove their sanction from the fight. Stiverne chose not to fight because the WBC wouldn't sanction the match (due to Povetkin cheating), and King missed money because of it. Stiverne testing positive did not jeopardize the fight in any way. Pretty open and shut.

                    Lawsuit

                    Hey Mr. King, take a number and get in line. Povetkin's promotor and team has Deontay Wilder problems to get solved. I'm sure the WBC is deciding on what actions to take. They obviously didn't discuss what the penalties would be should Povetkin fail another test. For the WBC to be considered credible, a stern message needs to be sent out. I understand giving the benefit of doubt the first time. To come back and fail another test in such a short period of time tells me that Povetkin will cheat at all costs. This time may have cost him a boxing career.
