Back here on earth, Povetkin's PED abuse has cost Al, Wilder, Stiverne & the WBC a boatload of cash. Though Ryabinsky will end up paying off the fighters and Al, the WBC is screwed.

Apparently you and a few others here don't read much, other than what is spewed on message boards. Stiverne inadvertently drank an energy drink, which was quickly checked out, verified, and realized it was not a PED. A simple over-the counter energy type drink. He drank it right in front of the testing people in order to help him urinate for the test, since it was recommended to him by the gym he works out at. Even after, he took full responsibility knowing he is responsible for what goes in his body. Why is that so hard to understand? FYI There are many drugs banned by WADA, and not all of them are considered performance enhancing...a lot of them are for the protection of the athlete. The two drugs that Povetkin has tested positive were definitely PEDS.

Meldonium is about just as much of a PED as an aspirin. If you're hungry, a hamburger from MCDONALD'S is more effective.Badhusker wrote:boxing_rocks wrote:So, the best question is: why didn't WBC remove their sanctioning in case of Stiverne testing positive and removed it when Povetkin tested positive?

Re: Why didn't Povetkin cancel the fight when Stiverne tested positive?
Haymon isn't concerned about any one fighter because he has 150 of them and gets 10% of all of them.. Look how active Gary Russell, the world's best featherweight has been. He's fighting a lame opponent once a year. Spence is one of the best talents in the world and so is Beterbiev... WTF is he doing with all those guys so far??? Is Wilder closing in on a big money fight? Not when you slide him past Povetkin.. Slide him past Ortiz.. Slide him past Haye.. Everybody in the world wants to see competitive fights where you don't know who the winner will be.. They don't want to see Spence versus Bradley, but it's better than Spence blowing away Chris Algieri.. Spence vs Thurman is a fight I want to see..montrealsuper wrote:Because Stiverne is a puppet of Haymon and Povetkin is a man's man. Let's hope Ryabinsky fights this treachery and corruption and we can finally see Wilder vs Povetkin, the fight that terrifies Haymon. If Haymon loses Wilder he has nothing. Because Spence and Stevenson are years and years away from being big selling attractions.
You don't want to see corrupt judging turning everybody off. Fans swear off on Boxing as a dirtbag sport when they see outrageous robberies that follow lame promotions like Kovalev-Ward.. That should have been the best and most anticipated fight in many years if it was done right.. It sure as Hell wasn't Golovkin-Lemieux, but it didn't do sh!t.. The May-Pac fight was so bad that it destroyed PPV for a few years I think... That fight should have been Leonard-Duran 1 -- but neither fighter made the least effort to fight.
Very good fights are possible with the talent that's out there right now---but they're not happening.. Look what Tex Rickard did with fighters like Jack Dempsey.. There are plenty of great fighters right now. There are no promoters and there are no deal makers..
VADA criminally misrepresented trace amounts of Meldonium as a test that didn't pass... It's easy to have a tiny trace but allowable trace of some PED in your system that amounts to a few nanograms...and not have any idea in the world how it got there.. You might have gotten it from eating a couple steaks, a chicken, or some roast beef in a restaurant.. If VADA wants you gone they can infer you didn't pass the test when you DID just by saying you had a trace in your system.. They should NOT be testing Sample B when they're not asked to test it either.. Somebody else needs to test it.. Somebody who doesn't screw it up.. That's what happened to Povetkin.. They admitted he passed easily.. And it seems to be happening all the time now with VADA.. How many foreign born fighters have they claimed didn't pass lately??? Bute, Stiverne, Povetkin, Browne, it seems to be happening all the time with these bastards.

Re: Why didn't Povetkin cancel the fight when Stiverne tested positive?
Most of haymon's stable are dead wood, wilder is the crown jewel right now. and just like how he protected floyd from ever losing, he will MAKE SURE TO PROTECT WILDER FROM EVER LOSING BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. If he has to pay off VADA to frame Povetkin with a fake positive test, haymon is the kind of corrupt filthy animal to do just that. Haymon is a megalomaniac who will do anything for greed and power and to maintain his power and leverage. Arum said Haymon framing pac with a fake USADA test in 2010 is one of the reasons they refused to fight floyd mayweather back in 2010.

Bermane Stiverne consumed a banned substance, failed a drug test, subsequently received a $75,000 fine and will be banned indefinitely if he fails another test.Badhusker wrote:Apparently you and a few others here don't read much, other than what is spewed on message boards.

Stiverne failed the test for the banned substance methylhexaneamine, a stimulant also known as dimethyamylamine or DMAA. It can promote mental and physical performance and aid weight loss.
Former boxing world champion, Enzo Maccarinelli, received a ban for consuming the same performance enhancing substance that Bermane took, even though he cited the same excuses Stiverne used.
Do you care to question my reading ability or do you prefer to continue understating the severity of Stiverne's infractions to the forum?

Re: Why didn't Povetkin cancel the fight when Stiverne tested positive?
Interesting article, but it doesn’t really undermine any of the facts listed in the above post, if that’s what your aim was by supplying the URL… As a professional sportsman, Stiverne shouldn’t really be interested in questioning the correctness of a drug being banned… instead, he should only concern himself with the fact he shouldn’t consume it, because the implications are obvious.lefty wrote:It can be found in pre workouts - https://www.musclerage.co.uk/articles/A ... ents-Back/Enlightened-One wrote:Bermane Stiverne consumed a banned substance, failed a drug test, subsequently received a $75,000 fine and will be banned indefinitely if he fails another test.Badhusker wrote:Apparently you and a few others here don't read much, other than what is spewed on message boards.

It seems that no one has made any effort to directly undermine any of the points listed in my post, which is probably because people know that I’ve simply listed facts that are irrefutable in nature. Badhusker – do you care to try to defend your stance?
Re: Why didn't Povetkin cancel the fight when Stiverne tested positive?

It is obvious that what he drank to help urinate was not taken knowing it contained a banned substance or anything close to what Povetkin took. The WBC understated the severity of the infraction considering the circumstance, thus gave out a fine. I know you can read, but comprehending is apparently not your strong suit. I didn't say Stiverne was not guilty of consuming a banned substance.
I'll consider you on the level of asdfjkl and a few others, that argue for the sake of arguing.

Also, in regards to me regurgitating info., perhaps that is true, but I did not repeat anything that you had personally written, since you contradicted a good portion of the detail contained within the article you supplied.
I don’t argue for the sake of arguing. You fired the first insulting shot, so it’s naïve to not expect some form of retaliation.

If you cant realize or see the OBVIOUS pattern that Haymon protects his key fighters (floyd stevenson garcia spence wilder broner etc) then you aren't very bright - Haymon is a corrupt crook who will do anything to keep and grow his power - just like malignaggi warned us: "Al haymon can manipulate (FIX) anything - what al haymon wants al haymon gets" - that pauly quote before he later sold his soul to haymon quoted before the broner fight is all you need to know about al haymon - and only a fool would think haymon plays fair and clean -

Re: Why didn't Povetkin cancel the fight when Stiverne tested positive?
Did you see the shape of Stiverne at the Povetkin weigh in? He looked awful fat and out of shape - as if he knew there was no reason to get in top shape because there would be no fight - it was the biggest fight of stivernes career and his last chance and he showed up like a fat slob - Stiverne knew the scheme was to frame povetkin again and he didn't train - I have zero doubt of this -
