If Wilder won somehow, you wouldn't handle it well.
I don't care who wins... Before this whole thing blew up I was on record saying Wilder would win a decision... What difference does that make??? You don't make slanderous statements and accuse somebody of being a drug cheat when they're NOT... I would defend Wilder the same way, but in this case it's Povetkin who is being smeared because American promoters don't like Russian promoters winning the purse bid -- because we think we own Boxing and all major World Title Fights should be held in America... They rigged this whole thing up to destroy the budding industry of Boxing in Eastern Europe and keep ahold of one of the few major gate attractions in the United States... What they've done is criminal...and WHOEVER does it I don't like it... I'm an American was rooting for Wilder - before they did this to Povetkin and his promoter.
Can you explain this?

A and B is the same sample, anyone with a brain could have told you that even before the test. If Wada/Vada did their homework correct, then they would have known it in 2015 as well.

Very good observation... VADA knew both the A and The B sample contained exactly the same concentration of Meldonium... Povetkin's team did as well... They knew they passed the FIRST test with flying colors so there was NO NEED to test sample B... VADA tested sample B on their own to further smear Povetkin with innuendo... They didn't say "Povetkin failed the test" ... They said the test was positive for Meldonium and it was.. The same 70 nanograms his A sample contained, DUH!!! ... But since that is less than 1/14th of 1 microgram both samples passed - which they failed to mention. Tests can vary 70 nanograms because of differing levels of hydration, and that's why 3 earlier samples were completely clear.. Tests can also be faulty but if you're taking ANY dose you'll have over 1 microgram so he's not reusing it. Just because one test is completely clear and the next has the tiny allowable trace of 70 nanograms doesn't make somebody guilty. Tests can vary that tiny and allowable trace amount. Povetkin is not going to test for the tiniest trace by September because it's a year out. And 70 nanograms can't do crap for your performance so it's a Tempest in a Teapot that was deliberately brewed by VADA and the WBC - which are now working in concert with their "Clean Boxing Program" trying to get everybody testing all the time so that VADA can rack up fees left and right.
