WBC: Povetkin suspended for at least a year, 250k fine

Can you have one thread without vile language? Really...

 

Ok

 

He isn´t even banned from boxing. Just a one year ban from the WBC rankings?

 

Good stuff, nice to see Povetkin banned. Thing is, I don't think this blocks him from fighting any random opponents in Moscow, this just blocks him from participating in WBC sanctioned fights from what I understand.

 

Wiggins is a cheat in my opinion, I don't trust the Olympics whatsoever

 

Stick a sock in it grandpa. Povetkin's whole dirty career has been a farce. He's been caught with every kind of drug there is. The Wbc have sued his ass, Wilder sued his ass, and most likely Stiverne will sue him too. Hell maybe all the other 30 opponents should sue him. God knows what other kind of drugs he's been taking before 2013. Looks like a juiced up super commando from Universal soldier.

 

I think the suspension is fair. A year and he must re-apply. He also must subject himself to vada and pay for it himself.
I think it's good in my book.

 

Nope.

Traces of Meldonium, which he openly took before the ban, and Ostarine.

Not exactly horse steroids.

Check your facts.

 

My fault, always thought that he was under Don King, it is Stiverne who is under Don King.

But it doesn't completely blow the theory. Everything stays in place, it just takes out Don Kings revenge with traces of meldonium, but leaves Stiverne in ostarine situation and Stiverne getting away with use of peds. Overall still that leaves Wilder's crazy protection in place, leaves meldnium situation, leaves court decision and situation how VADA handled situation leaving it up to last moment.

 

For some strange reason I believe Hershal Walker was always clean....dudes not your normal human being.

 

I laugh at the convoluted conspiracy theories that the WBC, Al Haymon and the Illuminati came together to protect Wilder from Povetkin by somehow sneaking into Russia and injecting PEDs in his system (or into his sample).

If they were going to do that, wouldn't it have been easier for the WBC to simply not ever rank him No. 1 so he never became a mandatory? That's the simplest, lowest-risk way to allow him to be avoided.

I mean, hey, we've got a body that made Hughie Fury a mandatory, right? They could have kept Stiverne above him and avoided all risk.

Or if the Lone Gunmen were going to really somehow manipulate Povetkin's rest results or inject him with illegal substances, why not do so with massive amounts of better-known substances instead?

But tin foil hats work in mysterious ways.

 

Good to see the WBC doing something. Wish the IBF, WBA, and WBO would follow their lead.

 

None of those have ranked him since his first failed test for meldonium, I believe. They just didn't have sanction to suspend him since the failed test was under WBC's program.

I hope we're moving toward a day when the alphabets have a unified VADA testing system with all results shared.

 

The WBC doesn't have the authority to ban him from boxing. My biggest problem with all of this is the fact that news outlets aren't reporting anything that speaks to Povetkin's innocence. There is a strong case that points towards Povetkin doing nothing illicit and the WBC being corrupt but that isn't talked about a lot.
