    Regardless of what other experts say, I believe meldonium is a powerful PED w/ notable stamina & endurance gains

    We thought fighters took it to decrease stamina not for gains, what clown would try to get stronger and faster for longer periods?

    He doesn't work for VADA, he just consults or consulted during its inception.

    Nah, they are banned indefinitely. However Russian athletes can enter the Olympics individually.

    Dibella is going to put the screws to Povetkin. This thing is going to court. What a mess.

    The drug manufacturer says that it doesn't help in athletic performance.

    It IS powerful. Actually read some academic publications on it.
    Povetkin cheated regardless.
    I want to see Wilder against a super heavyweight, anyway.

    17% of Russian athlete had the drug in their system when it was not banned. That's a lot. And I don't believe all 17% of those people had genetic blood flow issues.

    Maria sharapova got a suspension for using the same PED.

    The same has to apply to Povetkin.

    Never has there been such an exposing of absolute morons on this forum.
