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? They seem to have an agenda.

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.

If you care to read about it in more depth...

Really? And you believe that childish bull? Does Stiverne has prostate issues at his young age? Does Canelo? Why do they have problems peeing all of a sudden?
If you read the recent article on BS, Stiverne said he took a 5 hr energy drink. He also said Povetkin's team starting Tuesday before the fight was telling Stiverne if he backed out they had a replacement. In other words, they already knew Povetkin would test dirty.
