    It's yanks and Russians that love the roids and they still can't compete with the Brits in boxing.

    This seems to be a fair assessment. But let me elaborate on the final sentence. I believe the global sporting community has it in for Russian athletes. It's quite evident his medicine was widely used by Russian athletes across all sports and it seems to be a way to **** them down out of events by making it illegal knowing it takes time to clear the system. The list of Russian athletes being tarnished for this medicine is staggering just check Wikipedia. Hockey, speed skating, tennis (maria sharapova), now boxing. I think their is a bigger agenda here than just one man using a substance. Seems like a witch hunt and everyone is going for it.

    Where is the evidence of that statement? There are plenty of articles on contrary and I tend to believe those than someone anonymous on Internet.

    This comment could be seen on Stormfront. You are an apologist and a coward for not admitting Povetkin should suffer the consequences for testing dirty. He knows the rules, if he wasn't going to follow them then why did he sign up for the fight? Stop being a scumbag and apologising for Povetkin breaking the rules.

    I don't give a **** what you believe. I didn't read anything on the contrary. Everything I've read points towards it being a PED which is why it was put on the banned substance list. Foh lol...

    I see your point, but this medication is for people with heart conditions. None of these athletes have any type of heart condition or they wouldn't be allowed to participate. So that brings us to the question, why are these athletes taking medication that was created to combat heart ailments?
