Why come the same guys burying Povetkin now give RJJ, Toney, Mosley, etc a free pass?

    Because people are bias to their own race.

    Nobody wants to say it y'all are pussays

    Edit: people will stick with their nation as well. U.K. Fans are notorious for that

    Because they are American they get a free pass.

    It's an American/Russian thing. The list of American fighters caught for illegal substances is far longer then the Russian list.

    Prejudice by so many. I remember when Roid Jones got caught in Indiana, not to mention so many more............

    Wilder came crying to the WBC that he did not want to fight Povetkin, instead Wilder wants a rematch with Sconiers,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Wilder does not want to fight a good heavyweight.............Wilder has been lifting lots of weights and Juicing? However, he can get buy with it............

    Many prejudiced posters. I'm not even sure 70 nanograms is enough to merit a sanction? Does anyone know if there has to be a certain amount to warrant some sort of penalty?

    My suggestion would be a fine for Povetkin and belt to not be on the line. If Povetkin wins title becomes vacant and he can fight next top contender for it.
    This way Wilder still gets his career high payday which would be a shame to lose out on it after a full camp and no fault of his own.

    Seems like there's a minimum threshold (at least from WADA) and Povetkin tested under that.

    My guess is Wilder can probably hold out for some extra $$$ to go through with the event given the circumstances.

    to be fair, Russia and east bloc has a massive tradition in the use of PED that outstrips any nation's.

    That's said 2 wrongs don't make a right.

    Because in the 90s steroids were not accepted, but ignored. Nobody remembers the whole Barry Bonds, Mark Mcgwire, Lance Armstrong stuff. That was the same with boxing.

    In the 90s guys used. Plain and simple.

    That is a common misconception, PED abuse was rampant in international sports, the only reason the Eastern hemisphere was accused of PED abuse is because of politics and cold war tensions, the west accused the east of PED abuse, yet their athletes were shoving steroid pills and needles up their wazoo in order to compete with the global competition.

    Exactly. All those posters praise Holyfield, Toney, RJJ, know PED users in situations much worse than Povs.
