Povetkin: Stiverne wanted a way out....

Great, then we agree!

 

1. No, not guilty since it wasn't banned.
2. We don't know yet.

Atleast when Povetkin get caught they issue an investigation to find out. Wich is more than you can say they do in other cases.

 

Interesting interview on the scene.
Stiverne implying that Povetkins team knew all week that he had tested positive.
He said they kept repeating to him that they had a replacement if he didn't go through with the fight, days before the test came to light

Why would you tell a guy that there's a replacement on standby when the guy was already in the country and after traveling 1000s of miles??
It's not like Stiverne had any other reason to bail

 

if that was the situation and they were saying that you can be sure stiverne and don king were trying to hussle them for more money, basically trying to extort them or the event is cancelled, the russians called their bluff

 

that guy is as stupid as they come and 100% a troll.

 

no i was replying to what limerickbox said, that they knew about the failed drug test all week and were saying to stiverne that they had a replacement lined up

if that was the case you can be damn sure don king was using this as leverage to extort povetkin to get a higher purse or else they would leave. the russians were probably saying, thats cool you can do that we have a replacement anyway

as limerickbox said stivernes story doesn't make any sense unless he was trying to extort them for more money for the fight. Which is something stiverne isn't going to say to the mdia because it will make him look bad and will destroy he's story that hw wouldn't face a drugs cheat. when in fact he would have had no problem doing it if they gave him more money

 

They casted him for Mr Potato head in Toystory 3.

 

povetkin wassn't to blame the first time round, it was either wilder running off before they came to a conclusion, or the wbc inability to read there own wada rule book

this time if he popped for something it is povetkins fault.

 

why was stiverne allowed to fail a drug test weeks ago with just a tiny fine? shouldn't the wbc have pulled the sanctioning out after that?

 

he was under the wada allowed limit, 17 times under the limit, it was a non issue

it would be like if the police took your blood alcohol and you tested 17 times under the allowed driving limit and they still kept you in the cells for 3 days to make sure that everything was above board.
