True, and I agree which is why I don't understand why so many posters here think he's going to rule the division.
Many of our Eastern European friends believed that when the Iron Curtain came down, Eastern European fighters would have total domination. There have been some great fighters like the Klitschkos, GGG, Lomachenko and others but they hardly have been dominating boxing in totality.
So they get frustrated and make things up like Wilder and Joshua must be on roids and the Povetkin tests were fake.

The thing with Povetkin is that he looked very poor 4 yrs ago against guys like Wlad and befor that with Huck when he was a prime age. After that he seems to lose his Pillsbury doughboy physique and is all of a sudden a killer? He gets busted for PEDS, and once random tested is back to his normal self. It has less to do with age that we think, but a good excuse.

how many ppl here seriously think hes going to rule the division? like maybe 2?
its strange with him. you get maybe only a few ppl who really overrate him, but then ppl like you and saad and caldo talk like loads of ppl are going on and on about him and wildly overrate him. i took the time to actually look at it--the number of threads on him, posts, etc. theres really not that many ppl crazy about him. its just a small few, who ppl keep engaging btw. and he gets just as much negative attention here as positive. look at guys like iron frost and caldo for that. they keep pov alive on boxrec just as much as anyone else.

“We have managed to prove that Ostarine entered Povetkin’s body with natural supplements,” Alexei Karpenko, a Povetkin representative said today. “The fine will be paid since there was a fact of negligence regarding the sports nourishment, which led to the cancellation of a scheduled bout (Vs. Stiverne).”
"Fact of negligence" . In reality it was shakedown money demanded by the western racketeers who run the boxing business.
Povetkin never took a PED in his life.... They should set an allowable concentration for Ostarine at an amount that couldn’t boost a combatant’s athleticism in any way in a million years, since Ostarine and other products contaminate so many over-the-counter supplements... I am POSITIVE that had Wilder or Stiverne tested to 10th of a nanogram of Ostarine you would never have heard about it... They would have set an allowable concentration at 100 nanograms or whatever.
It’s only an Eastern European or other overseas boxer who they would ever flag and try to destroy his career over a miniscule trace amount of anything that couldn't boost the performance of a flea...
Just because you keep saying it over and over, doesn't clear Povetkin of pissing dirty. You apparently aren't bright enough to recognize how hypocritical you are. You might as well accept it, because he has, and paid his quarter of a million dollar fine. No one does that if they are innocent. You should read up a little on the drug Ostarine, which you claim does nothing compared to other PEDS. With a half life of 24 hrs, if it is in your system in any amount, it has been there recently in greater amounts. Figure it out Bozo.
You're an idiot who's Incomprehensibly stupid... No other testing agency who tested Povetkin at the same time found any trace of Ostarine in Povetkin's sample... VADA never produced the sample, but claim a 10th of a nanogram of Ostarine was present in one of his samples... If he were tested earlier and took a dosage that would have any possible effect in him from a performance standpoint he wouldn't have tested clear for those earlier tests... That means the only possible explanation for the infinitesimal trace amount in a single test was contamination -- and the Povetkin team proved that was the case and that he never took PEDs.
And as for the Wilder fight -- you don't seem to know why you pee more clear one time and pee yellower at another time... Because you consumed more liquids you idiot.... If you test for 1/15th the allowable concentration -- or 70 nanograms -- when 999 nanograms passes the test -- and the 70 nanograms are from an allowable residual amount that's still be there from when Meldonium was still legal in 2015...that doesn't mean you weren't a lot more hydrated (you drank more water) before your previous tests that were all clear... So basically stop being SO DAMNED STUPID!!!! ... VADA knew this... They just wanted to destroy the promotion just before the fight when thousands of people already flew to Moscow to see Wilder vs Povetkin.. Wilder never flew in of course because they clued him in that they were going to pull the "investigation" after which they admitted Povetkin never failed any PED tests.

I don't claim to know more about Povetkin's case than anyone... Anyone with a brain can figure this stuff out... You don't WANT to know that a Russian was discriminated against or that the case is super easy to figure out.
VADA used the pretense of an "investigation" to stop Wilder-Povetkin.... When their investigation finally ended they very reluctantly admitted Povetkin DID NOT take PEDs because none of his tests failed.
Then they put their boy Stiverne in front of Povetkin and Ryabinsky ALSO won that purse bid for Moscow - which pissed American promoters off to no end... VADA came up with the same scam they used against foreign boxers Bute and Browne... a trace amount of Ostarine which all 3 boxers claim they never took... In Povetkin's case he proved it.
If you didn't have your head so far up your ass that you're farting fillings you'd be able to make sense of test results.

"Povetkin crazed"? Asking why he has been stonewalled by the western boxing mafia with transparently absurd pretenses is "Povetkin crazed"? Australian Lucas Browne is another one who got the treatment.

Povetkin won't be around the top ten in a year or two. I for one will be very sorry to see him hang them up especially as we never got the opportunity to see him fight the best (other than the Klitschko fight for the WWF title) I hope he gets a swansong against Joshua.
Why will I be sad when Povetkin retires? Same reason I will be sad when Ortiz retires or Wilder, because the division is diminished anytime it loses a fighter who would stand a realistic chance of prevailing in a world title fight.
The only vaguely redeeming aspect of his retirement being the likely (please God) demise of this tedious thread which keeps reappearing under a slightly different heading with inevitable regularity, with the same people seemingly doomed to repeat the same mantra time after time.
I was determined to keep clear this time but it's like an irresistible vortex sucking in anyone who strays too close. I held out for quite a while - I don't usually.

Believe me, I wanted to see those fights come off as much as you did. Lucas Browne may be a good guy but he is no threat to any of the belt holders. Is Ortiz flunking tests also part of this Western conspiracy?
If you want to root for Eastern Europeans you sure got that right as Lynyrd Skynyrd said, but I'd look to the young guns, not Povetkin.

Tony, i don't know. He's Cuban. But maybe his people just didn't slip enough dineros under the table to the right bag men. Maybe he was considered too much of a threat to their Alabama cash cow (who isn't, other than Stiverne?). The drug testing business is very politicized and corrupt.
Povetkin's only loss was to Wladimir The Great, who was impersonating an octopus that night.

As someone already mentioned, Wilder was busted for

If anything, weed hinders performance because (among other things) it slows reaction time and hinders muscle coordination.

and ffs hes a top 5 heavyweight. he will get talked about.

The expert witness would simply say “That’s a very simple explanation... He was more hydrated when he tested clear of Meldonium so it didn’t show up in his urine sample... He was less hydrated when he tested for the miniscule and allowable trace amount of Meldonium, meaning he drank less water.. The same reason your urine will appear more yellow than when you peed the last time.. It’s more concentrated because you’ve been drinking less water.”
“Would there be any reason to warrant stopping a fight from happening based on such varied testing results???”

Boxing is the least of it. Talking about boxing is just an idle diversion, but it applies to important things just the same. When you engage in debate with someone, chances are your interlocutor is is ignoring you except for a key word or two that he thinks might come in handy when he responds to defend his (absurd) position - and as you say, myself included!
Most humans are bovine herd animals (present company excepted, of course), especially now, dumbed down as they are, and their opinions are are just regurgitations of what they have heard from the "authorities", with a careful eye out to the fashion
du jour and receiving approbation from the rest of the herd. 90% of these boxing forum threads are just about who can beat up who anyway, so what the hell?

Well actually, the court never listened to the chemists and the one Wilder and his team brought in obviously have a clue what he was talking about or even lied under oath on purpose, it genuinly is one of those two
The whole case was rigged... Povetkin's lawyer claimed Judd Bernstein bought up every expert witness on PEDS so he could use NOBODY as an expert witness...
That is absolute nonsense... He could have subpoenaed ANY authority from the WBC or VADA and simply asked them if Povetkin passed all his PED tests for Meldonium... They would have been forced to say yes to avoid perjury charges… Then he could ask him “Did Povetkin fail any PED tests for Meldonium." They would have been forced to say "No."
Then he could have hired ANY knowledgeable expert about drug testing... And there are thousands who are knowledgeable, Judd Bernstein cannot possibly bribe them all not to testify...and ask them... "Explain for the jury why an athlete might test clear in a urine test for Meldonium....and then test for an allowable 70 nanograms at a later date -- which I must remind the jury was a very miniscule trace amount and 1/14th the maximum allowable concentration for Meldonium on that test date –- without having taken ANY Meldonium since it was banned in January of 2016.”
The expert witness would simply say “That’s a very simple explanation... He was more hydrated when he tested clear of Meldonium so it didn’t show up in his urine sample... He was less hydrated when he tested for the miniscule and allowable trace amount of Meldonium, meaning he drank less water.. The same reason your urine will appear more yellow than when you peed the last time.. It’s more concentrated because you’ve been drinking less water.”
“Would there be any reason to warrant stopping a fight from happening based on such varied testing results???”
“No... None at all... Both tests passed with flying colors.”
The only reason I can see as to why Povetkin's lawyer didn't put on any defense is he was bought off.
Golly, if you can't trust a New York City lawyer who can you trust?
Good point.... Some lawyers will sell you out for a guaranteed profit - instead of working their ass off so you'll win.... A jury's verdict is always a risk.... The language barrier made it very difficult for Povetkin.... That's why you need a great interpreter so you can find out exactly what strategies, witnesses, and evidence your lawyer is going to pursue.... If he tells you it's an open and shut case and not to worry.... If he won't go over the whole strategy and case with you.... fire him immediately.

Can you explain how Povetkin's lawyer intentionally lost the trial? His lawyer was Russian, speaks russian and has represented World of Boxing in other legal matters.
All of the aspects of the trial are a matter of public record and are freely available to the public. None of what you said happened at anytime during the trial.
Also none of the samples were ever tested in Nevada.
