Why blame Povetkin for PEDS when all top athletes take them?

Big difference between getting accused of taking them and actually getting busted for it. Evidence matters.

 

Out in the real world you could get sued for saying **** like that with no evidence.

 

Have you ever heard of something like innocent until proven guilty ? There you have your answer.

 

He isn't a proven cheat like people say. The people that say this never bothered to look up the details surrounding what happened. That's what people do now. Research is so hard lol.

 

I never took no roids and I was pretty damned good.

 

Where can we read about the details?

 

You provide the indisputable proof that the fighters you mention are taking banned PEDs, then come back and ask the question again.

 

Alright so, first you need to look up why meldonium is banned in the first place. I figure you can just google "Reason for WADA Meldonium ban" then you have to look into meldonium and the effects of it. Then you have to understand how the banning process works under WADA protocol which is easily found on their website. I would also recommend understanding how these things are detected since that is important since people use the argument of "It was detected in Povetkin's body on a date after he passed a test which proves he was using it at the time". All of that would cover meldonium.

For Ostarine, which is an actual PED, you'd just have to look into the UCLA's lab mishandling of the case and what other labs found (or didn't find) when they tested Povetkin.

Sorry for just suggesting what you should google instead of providing links. I just don't feel like looking this up again and also this way I can't be accused of providing biased sources. If you have further questions I will be happy to answer them to the best of my ability.

 

The very, very tiny concentration of meldonium in Povetkin’s blood in early 2017 was well within the allowed limits.

According to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s standards, concentration of meldonium within a span of 1 to 15 micrograms is virtually acceptable for the probes, made from January 1st till March the 1st of this year, while probes with traces of meldonium, performed since March 1st, can be detected as positive for a quantity exceeding a limit of 1 microgram. Povetkin’s concentration was 70 nanograms = 0.07 of a microgram.

Meldonium, which is NOT a steroid, was commonly used amongst athletes in Eastern Europe, but was placed on the banned list by WADA as of Jan 1, 2016. In prescription form, the substance is used as an anti-ischemia medication, used to improve blood flow.

 

Also even if most of them are you still should not be lenient on proven drug cheats.

 

we should like all murderers cos all people are potential murderers.

 

That mode of thinking is very dangerous. Once you abandon the idea of withholding belief until claims have been backed up by evidence then you're liable to believe anything that fits into the particular prejudices you're exposed to.

Think of how that kind of thinking is applied, with disastrous effects, in other areas of life... It's a corrosive and damaging failure of reason.

 

You trying to tell us something Herol?
