Povetkin: Stiverne wanted a way out....

Didn't Bermaine test positive for something too though? would've been fair

 

Bermaine tested positive for a sportsdrink that had a substance that proved illegal. povetkin injected and swallowed steroids...Theres a hell of a difference, now ban that fraud for good!

 

Why is the substance that Bermaine got caught with banned? must be a reason for it

 

This is getting worse isnt it. Fkkin Russians. Been caught twice now inside a year, These Russian based Russians will not stop doping even when caught all they do is try a little harder to not get caught. And when they do get caught they cant even pretend to be sorry or show even any fake humility.

Its not just Boxing either this is across many sports.

 

There's no difference in fact. Forbidden substances are forbidden substances and each athlete has to research what he is ingesting. Stiverne's excuse is that it was in a sports drink is non-sense. He took PEDs and that's the end of it, just like Povetkin.

 

Stiverne is a bit of a hypoctrite, but Povetkin should keep his mouth shut. Miniscule Meldonium traces, who cares? But these are roids he was caught on this time!
He wasn't really outed as a cheat before, but now he is and has to take the concequences like a man.
Ban this facker, and let Stiverne fight Whyte for a shot at the belt.

 

Povetkin tested positive twice. Stirverne once. Fair? Well its not level.

 

Correct. If the job description for "WBC title eliminator" says do not ingest forbidden substances (or to follow your example: Do not commit *any* crime), then there is no difference.

 

Of course there is a difference, Stiverne drank a soda which contained ephedrine, something he was unaware of. Povetkin abused the same drug the russian tenniswomen got caught with, for years actually. After he got caught he started taking Ostarin which is a very anabolic drug that builds muscle and stamina, plus keeps the muscle even when you train very hard cardio....There is a World of difference. Stiverne deserves a small slap on the wrist, Povetkin deserves to get thrown out for good, in shame!

 

You know this is just boxing politics and Russians politics game is on point lately. WBC pulled sanction of this fight so it was a waste to fight it. Despite the payday but then I guess most of Pedvetkin's fans would suck dick for money for the payday doe. So what that Ryabinski knew Pedvetkin could fail the tests and had a backup ****** to save his card.
Pedvetkin really needs to be dropped from the rankings and suspended for a year plus at minimum. A second offense in a year, probably deserves complete banning. WBC needs to do the right thing this time.
