I am confused. People seem to accept WADA when it suits them but when it comes to Mayweather it has to be VADA's rules. Make your minds up.
There is NO legal limit, povetkin PASSED multiple tests then AFTER passing multiple tests he flunked one. You had until march 1st to become a clean fighter. Povetkin accomolished that then took , only god knows how many covered up banned substances. That's the reason the B sample is not demanding to be tested. They had more in his system that was successfully covered up,povetkin can live with pretending shat from 2015 was there in some tests and some of you morons run with it. He fights this and all the masking agents could be found. Anyone who believes their nonsense stories are of the caliber that believed salt water healed a "severely torn" rotaror cuff. Not reconstructive surgery, a scope and salt ****ing water. That's the level of fans we have, mind blowing
First Povetkin's promoter during his last interview told that they will ask for sample B to be tested. Here is a link to notice from WADA on meldonium. Since the sample was taken on 27th of April, the decision could go either way, until sufficient study has been made. https://wada-main-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/resources/files/wada-2016-04-12-meldonium-notice-en.pdf
I think they also need to take a closer look at B samples of "negative" tests from early April. If they find traces of meldonium there, then Povetkin should be cleared, as he was under the allowed limit.
This under the limit stuff isn't clearly understood by you guys. If the fight went on, then testing for this fight was for nothing. It leaves room for Pov to use again. You can't allow a fighter to fight with anything let alone a certain amount under the limit because he didn't take trace amounts of Meldonium. He took the dosage recommended for great use, and then tried to mask the drug.
To date, as far as has been reported, Povetkin hasn't appealed to have his B sample tested. (Even if his promoter said yesterday -- long after the fact of the positive test of the A sample -- that they plan to ask for it.) That's rather damning.
You're not allowed though. The "mere presence" means failed test. Further stipulations are because of doubts over excretion times. < 1mcg could be latent from 2015. But given he passed 2 tests prior, it can't be. Anyway, why is everyone taking Ryabinksiy's word on the concentration levels? The dude said it was from a blood test, when in fact it was urine, doesn't scream authority to me.
Unfortunately to Povetkin and fortunately to Wilder, according to WADA notice, there is nothing certain for his test that was taken after 1, of March. He probably won't be banned, but in regards to lawsuit I guess I was wrong and Povetkin has chance only if his sample B is negative.
Team Povetkin should offer 5% of their purse to Wilder, and say let's go in 3 months when this recently banned substance is out of his system. What could Wilder say? He's lucky, Povektin would have knocked him out.
I agree. And Wilder was just quoted as saying "no amount of Peds could save him from an *ss whooping." Which I find as curious statement from someone who didn't take the fight once the test came back. Hopefully this quote will hold Wilder to face Povetkin in couple of months.
