    Inhalers and other seemingly simple drugs tend to have weaker steroids in them. Take triamcinolone for example which is a cream for rashes, its a weaker steroid but in the doses these guys take it can have a serious effect like team sky winning 4 out of the last 5 Tours. WADA knows what's up. World level athletes shouldn't have these kinds of health problems you know what I mean while still beating the rest of the world. Definitely not kosher.

    You should encourage Povetkin to stay away from PEDS.

    Wilder can take all the PEDS he wants and VADA would not mention it....................Povetkin would not take PED's two times in a row knowing he would be tested.......WBC has to protect Widler. 5 voluntary title defenses in a row and now Wilder wants to fight Bellew, a crude cruiserweight, while running from Ortiz, not to mention Joshua, Parker, Vlad, Etc.

    Well Duhaupas chose to fight Povetkin knowing he'd just popped dirty, so the decision was on him.

    Maybe in future a fight taken last minute against a dirty athlete should stay off the official records. That way the event isn't cancelled and the losing fighter suffers no penalties.

    Well just have your proof that Wilder is on PEDs and I'm sure the boxing world will be in an uproar too.

    Wilder says he wants Parker next obvisously the crooked WBC has him arranged to fight Stiverne next so that messed things up.

    Ahh got you that makes complete sense.

    No way could world class athletes be able to win medals with asthma that severe. It's still weird that they get Tues for these weak form of steriods but still take their EPO, HGH, Testerone, amphetimines, why not just hide these weak type of steriods too?

    Sorry I think you misunderstood. Team Sky act like they are a clean team because they don't use the same doping methodology, ie. EPO, anabolics, etc. That is because they use the TUE, and then they focus their whole apparatus on the drugs they are cleared to use, for instance in Wiggin's case corticosteroid triamcinolone. They overload on the drugs they are cleared for via the TUE and then act like they are clean because they don't take the drugs everyone else is getting popped for. Kinda reminds me of a certain boxer, lmao.

    Freeman is/was Sky's team doctor.

    Okay I understand you. Ever since that Armstrong saga I don't think the cheating has stopped.

    Not to mention I really doubt world class cyclists do not use EPO. It is the best drug for a endurance athlete and has been shown to be effective at beating the test of you micro dose.

    PEDvetkin, prince of cheats bites the dust, good riddance. The worst cheat in recent boxing history.

    Just think without cheating he would have never got into contention in this era nevermind other eras.

    The stuff he was taking wouldn't have made him a cheater in other eras because it was legal then lol. Boxing didn't even ban old school steroids until well into the 90's.

    Sure blame the stuff, nothing to do with the behaviour of the man.
    I expect you blame the knife and not the murderer too.

    NO, PEDvetkin would be a cheat in any era becasue its in his nature to cheat, the drug didnt make him do it.

    Teper popped for anabolic steroids and a raid on his residence netted all sorts of banned goodies, Ortiz also failed a test for anabolic steroids. Povetkin may be the highest profile offender but he's not even the worst in the HW division, nevermind all of boxing.
