How did Povetkin pass the first 3 VADA tests?

Wasn't it just a month ago I was reading articles of Povetkin and his teaming warning Wilder he would be tested?

Amazing, isnt it. Can't wait for this juicer to cycle off, so Wilder can knock him out in his home country.

Better yet let's bring this thing back to Tuscaloosa while Wilder brutalizes Povetkin in the ring, his family is in the 3rd row twerking!!!

Even if he took it after the ban, such low levels is evidence that he took it months ago (WADA said this). It means he had it in his system when he was tested by VADA the first 3 times and they failed to detect it.

There is nothing to prove he last took the substance in September as claimed.

Mircodosing would also produce small numbers like we are seeing & it fits the narrative better imo + either we gotta believe VADA is sketchy or Povetkin is sketchy. More people have suspected Povetkin of using PEDs then have suspected VADA of NOT catching PED users. In fact most people consider VADA the more legit testing agency around. I'll trust VADA to do their job before I'll trust Povetkin to not use extra means to secure a W.

Microdosing.

Becuase he sneakily tried to take it after the ban.

Ain't that the truth, and unsuccessfully tried to mask it as well. It shows how much they respect Wilder

WADA said that all tests before March 1st that detected less than 1 microgram is evidence that they took it before January 1st,. Povetkins results show he had 0.07 micrograms. Which means he took it months ago and it was in his system for the tests he passed. Not a great look for testing.

The 1 micro gram limit (1 millionth of a gram) is considered trace amounts and is allowed because the drug takes several months to completely leave your body. If 1 micro gram is trace amounts than Povetkin's 70 Nano grams (1 billionth of a gram) is infinitely minuscule and likely wouldn't even show up on most tests.

If he took the drug recently it would be well over the 1 micro gram limit. Seems more plausible to me that the 3 negative results speaks to how little was left in his system and didn't register not an indication of recent use. How else would recent use explain the minuscule levels? Flushing his system with diuretics afterwards? Then he would have tested positive for those too.

No, it's not. Either he was masking or microdosing. Take your pic.
