Genuine question for Wilder fans...

So you're saying they postponed the fight because they were afraid to tell Wilder to fly back? Lol

 

Notice the immediate statements (kite flying!) Wilder put out: fight permanently cancelled, never fighting Povetkin...

Wilder wasn't coming back no matter what they said, which is why he should be stripped and title made vacant. He certainly should not be allowed to fight until they officially declare Povetkin cheated. It's possible Arreola could win and lose the belt in a lawsuit.

 

1) WADA wasn't the testing agency. VADA was. It's on the banned substance list, which is posted online. You won't find any notation that days "legal up to certain doses."

2) Go look at the timeline and you'll find something curious: World of Boxing/Ryabinski posted a tweet that the fight was off ("postponed," but no new date mentioned, so indefinitely at best). Then, almost 30 minutes later, the WBC tweeted that it has "confirmed" the fight was off. So the Russian promoter announced a postponement -- not the WBC, not Wilder.

3) When the Russian promoter -- who claims his guy is "clean" and hadn't taken the Meldronium since last September (someone please ask him how he knows this; is his fighter within his eyesight every minute from October-April?) -- held his press conference he acknowledged that the fighter tested positive for a banned substance. He has not disputed this.

4) The Russian promoter, in his press conference, also said that his fighter needed to "pass a series of tests" before the fight could be rescheduled -- how can he insist his fighter hasn't failed a test and THEN say he has to now pass a series of tests? Explain that.

Dude tested clean, clean, clean and THEN dirty. So the substance was introduced between the third and fourth tests. Whoever in that camp was in charge of flushing/masking agents is probably dead in a ditch somewhere now for failing to cover the Meldronium that Povetkin took between tests.

 

Whether Wilder WANTED to fight or not is irrelevant. It's a matter of WILLING, and I believe he was willing.

 

Haha :deal

 

WADA set the rules that the testing agency follow.

The rest of your post is fanciful speculation and hearsay. As of today Povetkin remains #1 wbc contender with no ban or sanction. That's a fact buddy. No charges and no ban, just a champion who ran away.

 

I thought the WBC would conclude their investigation this week. I can't see how they can remove Povetkin after allowing the clenobutral excemption in the Salido Vargas match. That fight wasn't even postponed. And kudos to Salido for saying he wanted the fight anyway, showed real character.

 

This is the funniest **** I've ever heard. Arreola is lighting up in the dressing room and is high in the fight!:rofl:rofl:rofl

 

True story then he goes out and orders 12 Big Macs to satisfy his munchies before he rolls into the ring under the bottom rope.

 

:rofl

 

Weed doesn't help you box better

 

Did Arreola get caught smoking weed again because if he served his suspension then he's ok to fight. Is there a new rule that states that if you fail a drug test, a titlist can't fight you, lmao?

 

:good

 

You almost have to be a pharmacist to follow the sport these days.

 

Not Wilder's fault Povetkin is a cheat. If he had passed his drug test the fight would have happened. He's fighting a guy on short notice so I have no problems with it. Plus there's the possibility of him fighting Wlad if Wlad pulls off a miracle and beats Fury.
