100% not shocked at this result. I'm sure myself &/or others might have said outright or joked about it happening matter of fact if you look in past threads.

Wow.

Not at all surprised.
One of the most suspect athletes in boxing imo

It's meldonium people, it's meldonium. Before you speak about steroids, it's meldonium.

Meldonium is what Sharapova failed a test for, it is a heart drug which was outlawed in September 2015.

Although this is that newly banned drug that that sexy ass tennis chick tested for that seems to be a lil in limbo with WADA &/or other groups right now so who knows what this could mean.

Povetkin might be lucky this vitamin C of Russian PEDs was caught via that f#ckable tennis chick & now may or may not be considered a PED.
