If your suggesting that Stiverne is with a more powerful outfit than Povetkin then I would like to know how you got to that. The drug Stiverne failed for was DMAA which something I take myself in the gym, it's a very powerful stimulant which helps you focus and keeps you alert in the gym, it will not help your muscle grow directly at all. Ostarine is no Mickey Mouse drug it directly effects your muscle growth.
Forget the meldonium one I myself am not too concerned with it, i was talking about the ostarine case
Loool, I have to say Gmurphy does not seem to acknowledge any fault in povetkins actions at any point in this thread.
They were saying it BEFORE the test came out though. I highly doubt Stiverne went all the way to Russia to try to pull a fast one for more money
i asked why stiverne got away with one, plain and simple. if something is banned then you should get suspended. if it is no big deal it shouldn't be banned.
then you have to ask the question is stiverne was let go because it wasnt that serious of a ped, why did povetkin get he's fight with wilder cancelled and it took 6 months to investigate, when there isnt even any evidence that meldonium has performance enhacning effects?
Why do athletes get away with testing for banned substance in all types of sport I would say because money, influence and corruption is involved in sports. In the case of Stiverne, Povetkins team said they wanted to go ahead and he was penalised for it by the WBC.
There seems to be evidence that it has performance enhancing effects, maybe nowhere the levels of HGH, Stanozol or Ostarine.
No it isn't, because ostarine and DMAA are two different animals, surely you can see there are levels to crimes. Povetkins team should of cancelled the event if they felt the advantages of DMAA are too great.
Lool I'm not gunna insult him like you, I try to be respectful to everyone even if I see their bias in a situation or don't agree with their opinions.
if what stiverne took is a powerful stimulant, it is allowing him to accomplish far more in training than he would otherwise. so i see not much difference.
