    Whyte did test+dbol before and Povetkin was caught by deca. If they clean now they must be in TRT atleast. I'm surprised how so many forgot they ped cheat.

    I don't know the specifics of the Whyte situation.

    As for Povetkin, he was first accused of using a recently banned substance, and the WBC refused to enforce on the first charge because it could not be determined if the substance, meldonium, had been taken before or after the ban. Povetkin sued and won against the Wilder camp for cancelling their fight.

    As for the second charge, ostarine, it is a banned SARM (which I think is similar to a pro-steriod), but one which is known to be put illegally, sometimes without labeling, in dietary supplements, and certain athletes have been able to prove that they took it unintentionally.

    I am not defending Povetkin. He is a big boy and can do that himself. ultimately, he is responsible for what goes in his body. But it seems to me that with these two substances are rather mild, and it is plausible that he did not know. I will be the first to say that yes, this is an asterix beside all of his accomplishments, but it is a rather minor one compared to guys who have taken HGH or actual steroids.
