I am in the minority in the Povetkin case by a wide margin since I think that what happened is circumstantial and that he isn't in the wrong here, but it makes sense for someone to be against Povetkin because of how strange this situation is. In the case of Meldonium, it was found in his system. We know that. Everyone knows that. What some people don't know is that it is a quantitative substance under WADA protocol and , as you mentioned, he was under the limit of what is allowed. I do not fault anyone for getting that part wrong nor do I fault them for knowing that meldonium doesn't even really give you any benefits according to sports scientists (or whatever they are...) and that experts think that it should be taken off of the banned list. Now on to Osatarine(sp?), this is a more serious offense and has been banned since 2008, does give you benefits, and you are not allowed to have any traces of this in your system. It does not have the nuances that the case of meldonium has. Thing with this however, is that it wasn't always in his system and that it is a very small amount that was found in the first place. Now I'm not an expert, but I do know that if you are taking a PED, you have to stay on it for quite some time to get benefits from it and you have to take a decent amount of it. That wasn't found in Povetkin's system. Because of that, I think it is more likely that his story about contaminated food/samples is the truth. There is no proof of this though as it stands so drenlou assuming that Povetkin is guilty and calling him guilty, especially given his history, makes perfect sense and isn't something that I think you can criticize him for doing. On paper, it sounds terrible. Povetkin has been found with banned substances in his system on two consecutive fights. That part, cannot be denied.

Thanks for the info mate. I didn't follow the news and usually not one that cast the first stone.

Because those dudes survived the russian cold winters years after years. They are not so pathetic pussies like Wilder who lives in nice warm florida beach 24/7.

Winter surviving made those dudes mentally tough and gave them the power. STFU you all boxers who live in nice warm area. Winter is for the real fighters.

I'll take any ****ing winter over Asian summer any time of any day, so stfu with winter is harsher then summer. come live here in summer then say that again otherwise stfu, and that goes for everyone who hasnt experienced sub-continent heat, its on another level.

Weather has nothing to do with it. Good boxers come from places with good boxing programs, trainers, gyms, promoters, etc.

You forgot to mention that hr tested negative all along and the one That testes positive was mysteriously flown to the other side of the world to Los Angeles to be tested. America are trying to protect old chicken legs any way they can,.

Are you american btw? Are you not ashamed of wilder the same way the Mexicans are ashamed of canelo?

I'm American. I don't care about Wilder at all. His boxing doesn't impress me.

I think I explained the testing very well in my post...
