Comments Thread For: Ryabinsky Admits The Povetkin Mess is Bad, Career is at Risk

[BoxngLove]

What would you do: Start a sympathy support group for Black athletes who dope? Do not try to make this a race thing. Boxing aside: this is the kind nonsense that just keeps me from believing in a future for us all.

i dont remember any black doper failing two doping tests in a matter of less than a year.... But refresh my memory

They didn't need to fail two tests to be cheats, just the one.

Nice try though.

This is a stain on Povetkin's career that will stay with him forever. Personally I don't think he deserves a shot at a big fight anytime soon after ruining two fights by failing tests in the week before. The only way I think he should ever get a shot at a big fight is if he goes years testing clean and while proving he is still worthy skill-wise

I'm not excusing Povetkin you twit. Throw the book at him, he shouldn't be allowed to fight for another belt ever again. I only pointed out how prevalent PED use was and that some how upset you.

You made claims that " almost everyone" is doing it to make light of the situation.You don't have any evidence most or all boxers are doing what Povetkin is doing. The topic is Povetkin. Not everybody else so stay on topic, fool.

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.

Povetkin is no idiot....he took those drugs to avoid fighting guys he knew could ko him...Stiverne and Wilder....Basically he failed those tests to get those fights cancelled.

Let's clarify one thing:

Povetkin WAS NOT EXONERATED for the meldonium.

The WBC simply determined there was no way to prove or disprove exactly when he took it.

And, they ordered him to do extra testing for a year, promising him another dirty test would mean an indefinite suspension.

My common sense tells me that if you pass several tests clean THEN pop dirty afterwards, you took something recently. But since when does anything in boxing have to do with sense?

Povetkin is done...well, except he can make plenty of money staying in Russia short term.

Might get hard getting credible opponents tho.

Both guys failed testing for this fight and it could've still went forward, that's my point. You don't want to talk about Stiverne that's your problem. Stiverne was fined $75k and and had to pay out of pocket for additional testing b/c of the **** he took.

Stiverne says he made an innocent mistake, and you swallow it whole. Dude's a lazy fat-ass who doesn't like to train and got caught taking short-cuts. You don't know how he got those PEDs in his system just b/c he says it was an energy drink. Under normal circumstances, this fight wouldn't even have been allowed to proceed forward after Stiverne failed his test, but Rybiansky has paid so much money to the WBC, they were willing to allow it.

There's nothing light about what Povetikin did, especially as a repeat offender. He's making his body stronger in order to physically hurt somebody. There shouldn't be any letting him off the hook. Every decent boxing commission in the USA, Germany, and the UK should ban him for life. The orgs should never allow him to be ranked again.

It's prize fighting, that Russian money could lure any top HW there to fight a juiced up Povetkin.

So he passed 4 previous tests and pops dirty on the 5th one


same **** happened in the wilder fight..... clean on previous tests and then pops dirty....




What a cheating scum....



Now where is that vitali ass whipe that always rags on wilder for the PEDvetkin fight?

I already posted a link that detailed why that was completely different from Povetkin's situation. You wanted to know why it wasn't talked about and I answered your question.. Either you're too ****** to understand that or you're in denial. Carry on.
