    Povetkin is a cheater and should absolutely be 100% banned, but you can't just blindly call most european boxers cheats on the back of that.

    A polygraph test will clear this up once & for all.

    Polygraph operator to Povetkin: "You been doping?"

    Povetkin: "Ummmmmm, no."

    If he passes the polygraph test, he's good to go.

    Mosley, Mayweather, Toney, Holyfield and Roy jones all confirmed drug cheats. This has always been a part of pro boxing. The pathetic thing is Al Haymon and co are using it as a way to avoid fights. Just pathetic the fight should have went ahead.

    I don't get how he was clean in all the tests until 24 hours before the fight. Just doesn't add up. What benefit could he possibly get from this stuff over one day? I don't doubt palms can be greased to manipulate a sample in some LA lab when a multi million lawsuit is still pending. Any country that elects Donald Trump head of state is already full of it.

    I'm reserving judgement until the results of the polygraph are in.

    The whole Povetkin team are going to be tested.

    The big question is who slipped him the contaminated meat?

    Nah, Povetkin is a PED cheater.

    Even Ryabinski admits that Povetkin's situation is pretty bad.

    Obama is right.
    Do not vote for Putin, he's a thief, a liar, and he has occupied Ukrainian territories

    For Eastern European people it's obvious who the main evil is, and it's not Obama but someone shorter, older and named Vladimir :)

    Since im no eastern European i respect your opinion, but its a proven fact america armed and supported the rebal groups in Ukraine and caused the violent uprising. They are doing this so they can further weaken Russia by controlling energy supplies it was underhanded and wrong. Putin retaliated.

    As for eastern Europe many have joined NATO and aligned with the usa of course they are going to think putin is the bad guy, they get propeganda pumped in the I re ears 24/7 about how bad putin is and how good america is

    I cant help but think about Putins or the russian governments reported hacking of the US presidency voting system in favour of Donald Trump. I might be going off track here with the politics and its a grey area in regards to russians hacking but then again a consipiracy theory is a grey area too. Is this an American form of retaliation to that? Is it linked as sometimes sports and politics do? Grey area.

    The Russians didnt hack the election, it was already proven by wikileaks that the hack came from inside the democratic party, they even said who the guy was who leaked it.

    A lot has to do with connections. The NFL and NBA are rampant with steroids but rarely anyone ever tests for anything. Never any superstars either.
    Povetkin has maintained a very high level of performance at a pretty advanced age. Their is a good probability he is using something to maintain that level. However, it would be insanely dumb to use just a few days out after he just lost out on a big fight. He could be addicted to that high performance like a bodybuilder. It all seems fishy to me. I think he is using, I'll wait until the investigation is done, but I also believe people want him to be caught and may be are making sure he is. Nothing would surprise me.

    Thanks for clearing that up. As I mentioned before, it was reported that the russians hacked the election.
