    You are my favorite troll by far! Lol, didn't you call DMAA (the stimulate Stiverne was positive for) a "PED" that give you crazy benefits but Ostarine, which have proven to add in muscle performance and endurance, nothing special?!

    Lol, I have used this stuff as well, you're right, it's nothing compared to TEST but it's a whole lot better than that useless stimulant!

    Drop him. No champ should go near him. He has screwed his career.

    DMAA is an ampetamine it's chemical structure was altered from ephedrine for commercial availability purposes. SARM's like ostrine are just overpriced weaker analogues of TEST the only one worth a damn for fighters is GW501. These guys use TEST suspension for androgen recruitment and anabolic support not these lame ass SARMS. Povetkin is getting persecuted by Western watch dog group developed to protect and maintain boxing's status quo.

    i only deal with the fact but things don't add up on this issue.

    russia has been persecuted terribly in sport recently while other nations get a free pass for doing what ever they like

    im not a xenophobe or racist so i can see through all this mccarthyism nonsense that the plebs are buying.

    Chinese athletics as a whole not just boxing. WADA stays out of their business and you never hear about a doping scandal in Chinese athletics. China is a World power in sport, they're Olympic results speak for themselves and they will slowly become more represented in pro boxing as well.

    ya and chinese doping rumours go back decades, their top olympic athletes appear then disappear off the scene within months of winning medals, its extremely weird, but china is the real world super power right now, they will never get in trouble

    the usa currently is chinas lapdog in reality, china robbed usa submarines, the usa does nothing. China then dictates and tells the president what to do and who he is allowed to talk to. No one seems to even think this is weird.

    True, but it's also true that Ostarine will give you lasting benefits, DMAA will not. Povetkin have showed with this that he can't fight without a PED.

    If the WBC drops him, Povetkin won't be ranked by anyone. He isn't included in the WBA, IBF or WBO's top 15. They all dropped him even before this. (The WBO dropped him for the positive test in May.)

    Without a ranking by anyone ... and unless he can overpay fighters to come to Russia and agree to no drug testing (like he did with Duhaupas) ... which would mean no titles would ever be on the line ... Povetkin's career as a top contender is over.

    Because no champs will vacate their titles in order to go to Russia and fight Povetkin on his home turf with zero drug testing. So he'll be stuck engaging in non-title fights forever. Unless Russia decides to create their own "world" champs.

    So, he better hope the WBC doesn't drop him. They were his last hope as it was.

    It's a shame, too, because that double left hook is pretty sweet. But the guy just seems to be dependent on taking those supplements, testing be damned.

    He made his own bed.
