I remember saying that Povetkin's increase in vicious knockouts, late in his career- combined with a noticeable change in his physique and how it was fishy. My skepticism was met with disdain.SaadOffTheDeck wrote:The tests are much more legit than the random Povetkin power surge after wlad.
Is VADA's Ostarine test legit?

Re: Is VADA's Ostarine test legit?
What I reckoned happened here is that Povetkin and his team knew they couldn't get away with taking melodium anymore so they decided to take Ostarine instead believing (naively) that it wouldnt be that detectable or that VADA isn't particularly thorough in testing for it.
Pretty silly anyway.

Ostarine doesn't stay in your system very long, if you don't test the athlete at the right time you will not catch them period. Hence the reason for multiple drug tests, it's the only way to catch them.
USADA caught a UFC fighter earlier this year.
At the 2015 European Games at least one person was DQ'd for positive Ostarine tests.

What the F do Wilder's multiple clean tests have to do with Povetkin's failed test?
Cheaters are not going to fail every drug test, you just have to keep testing them and if they never fail a drug test you have to acknowledge the possibility that they may have been clean no matter how much you hate that boxer.
"Cheaters are not going to fail every drug test,"
I feel very sad that cheaters get away with everything they do and other innocent people get annoyed all the time while they do nothing wrong.
