    They said it was legal before and there were small amounts in his body from when he used it. How is that illegal? What's the final word on why the fight was cancelled? Did any drug agency state whether he would have seen any real benefit at all from those amounts at the time of his camp for Wilder or the actual fight?

    Seemed like something negligible.

    The euro team will defend Povetkin like the flo mos defend Fluid for banned IV use.

    These two groups are very much alike, yet they cannot see the irony.

    Well.

    With drugs that have been banned for years, it's pretty simple. You really shouldn't have any trace of it in your body at all. You should never have taken any. There's really no good excuse.

    But for a recently banned drug, that people have been legally taking for years, or even decades, it's probably pretty hard to definitively say whether some could re-appear in trace amounts. Could easily have been stored in his fat cells, and his increase in exercise for the Wilder fight caused an uptick in its release.

    My guess is the WBC is really trying to figure out how sure they can be of what Povetkin has taken, and they'll probably have to conclude they can't be sure at all and they have to just let it slide. Then they'll ask Wilder and Povetkin to reschedule the fight.
