Alexander Povetkin took the banned PEDS to either ...

PED tests are like IQ tests.

Flunking them usually means you were simply too dumb to cheat the test, or there was actually an honest screw up on your behalf. Not sure what the case was for Povetkin, but he easily could've conjured up a mysterious "gym injury" to get out of the fight without wrecking his rep.

 

good post. Problem is we can never get into these idiots heads to figure out why they do the dumbass things they do. We cant ask them because theyll just lie until they are caught dead to rights, then they want to apologize or all of a sudden discover god. Smfh what a fckin joke.

 

I cant believe people follow this cheater!!!!!

"Al natural" Wilder have the guts to go to russia and this piece of **** pulls this up! Shamee

 

I don't think his reputation will forever be tainted people have short memories. People who want to dislike him will, those who like him will probably move on from this. Is Holyfied forever tainted?, Roy Jones, Tarver, Toney, Mosely, many of whom have taken anabolic steroids far stronger than Melodonium.

Anyway if he was trying to duck I hope Wilder forces him to fight. It's still Wilder's career high payday and if team believes those low levels won't provide an unfair advantage in stamina I hope the fight goes on. I was looking forward to it. If it doesn't so be it. Either decision is ok.

 

:good Yeah, as it's been said, the difference between reality and fiction is that fiction has to make sense. Who knows what the driving reason here was. I do still remember wondering why it was so hard for Wlad to get him in the ring a few years back.

 

Povetkin used meldonium before it was a banned substance

Nothing illegal here.

 

Why do people think he started cheating for Wilder? He's probably been on PEDs since forever.

 

Has that been confirmed?

 

That's just stupid. If you want out of a fight, fake or get an injury. Just ask David Haye.

 

its takes months to leave your system and the amount found in povetkin was supposed to be insignificant trace elements, all fingers point to it been taken while still legal.

it as ped is almost a joke anyway, it is over the counter stuff that many arent even sure has performing enhancing side effects at all

people who said povetkin did this to duck are handicapped

povetkin fights wlad and good comp the whole time but he is going to take a drug that was only recently banned in tiny amounts to not fight wilder ?LOL
