Re: Povetkin fails drug test
He's wasting everyone's time!
maybe Stiverne can now face Arreola agin like Wilder did!
Povetkin can face Browne (who it looks like has come off Twitter) for the steroid championship of the world.

Povetkin needs to be banned for life.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Povetkin fails drug test
Stiverne has refused to fight, fair play but Iv just read Johan Duhaupas is stepping in to face Povetkin instead. He was supposed to be fighting Takam January 28 and hasn't fought since knocking Helenius out in April. Will he even be fit on a few hours notice?

Re: Alexander Povetkin v Bermane Stiverne
What makes no sense is why the positive result was announced after the weigh-in for the fight.
And Povetkin tested negative 5 times before the positive result.
Something doesn't add up. How do you get busted on a test just before the fight but not tests leading up to it? It's like he juiced the day before the fight - but that wouldn't do anything for him, it takes time to work. Some might use an illegal substance to make weight, but this was heavyweight so weight is not an issue.
Either VADA is incompetent (some of their testing that should have busted him a long time ago, didn't) or corrupt (they purposely withheld failed tests until the last minute). And while I'm not claiming this as a fact, a third possibility that VADA falsifies results.
And if he was using, why did Povetkin agree to VADA? No one was forcing you him to do it, so why even take the risk?

Re: Alexander Povetkin v Bermane Stiverne
I read it was a Dec 6th test that Povetkin failed. He just knocked Duhpas out in 6 apparently. What I don't understand is how he was even allowed to fight anyone, never mind the WBC not sanctioning it, what kind of policy does the commission have, if any? At this point you can't really defend Povetkin as anything but a drug cheat, shame as he's a good fighter and I would have liked to see his last couple of fights come off.

Re: Alexander Povetkin v Bermane Stiverne
nice knockout 27.18 for the ko... Duhaupass was out cold. I wish povetkin would stop taking drugs, he's never going to get another title shot
