****** ass if they were black he'd have belts even if he lost fights and the dirty tests would somehow disappear. Just ask Android coWardrolene.

Get a life you greasy ass loser.

Agree with him on both points. His career is at risk, but he also mentions that the idea of taking PEDs while everyone is looking at you is absolutely idiotic. I agree.

I think he's guilty though. We haven't heard a peep from Povetkin himself yet. If that was me, I would have been screaming at the top of my lungs saying I was set up.

Anyone still want to argue that USADA is better than VADA?

most obvious drug cheat in boxing.


povetkin had very little power forHW coming up. he was also much, much chubbier when he was a younger man. that is just not how this stuff works. his face doesn't even look the same. the guy is obviously a long term drug user.

everybody who fights at the top level takes a couple of drug tests at the very least, and many championship fights go through random testing. basically anybody who has been popped under those circumstances can make the same argument. yes, povetkin has the additional scrutiny that comes with being russian and alreayd getting popped, but it's not like other guys who get poppe aren't being scrutinized themselves.


ryabinsky is being awfully candid in this, almost like he's throwing the fighter under the bus. i think he knows the gig is up.

I dunno about you but Povetkin doesnt really strike me as a twitter/facebook kinda guy

This guy is lucky him and his fighter are not black.... Or they would be run out of boxing....

And you think Ward got that win because of his skills ????? ROFL

sounds like ryabinsky has come to terms with his failed test. The first one he fought tooth & nail but this one is hard to deny. Povetkin knows it & so does everyone else. Ryabinsky has put a lot of money into Povetkin. 2 multi million dollar events cancelled because his fighter is a cheat. time to cut ties. I understand he has made a lot of money in the klitschko/povetkin fight but where does he go from here? Povetkin is finished for a year or 2.

Yes, right: it seems that Ryabinsky realised that he lost enough credibility and money on a cheat, thus putting his own promotional career at risk...

Povetkin's career should be over.
