You guys can laugh and grin all you like... Boxing is a totally corrupt sport and unfortunately you have to play by the perverted rules of the guys who are holding the cards... VADA never said Povetkin didn't pass his PED tests for Wilder... They used innuendo to imply a lie... They said he tested "positive" for one (1) test but DIDN'T say he passed the test... He had only 7% of the concentration of Meldonium that was needed to FAIL that test.
It takes at least 6 months for Meldonium to clear your body if you took it when is was perfectly legal (which it was for over 30 years. You can buy it online or over-the-counter, but for political reasons it was added to the PED list in 2016)... You could easily test clear one day and "positive" for 7% of the required level for a failed test the next day -- for the same reason you'll piss more clear one day and more yellow the next.. It doesn't take 5 months for an "investigation" to find that your level of hydration can effect the concentration. For dummies, that means you didn't drink as much water.
The WBC and VADA never said Povetkin failed his test.... They said they needed to investigate one of his tests... That took them 5 months (should have taken 3 days) and the Wilder fight was destroyed by that time... They finally admitted Povetkin passed all his tests and issued their "investigative report" which was full of gibberish and purposely evasive as possible about the fact he passed all his PED tests.. In effect they said, "We can't prove he cheated."
RIGHT!!! ... You can't prove somebody cheated if he didn't cheat.
If innocent why the suspension and why pay a quarter of a million bucks?
Why not just say screw the WBC and say I'll only fight for one of the other belts?
rafael says vada submitted paperwork saying his levels were above meat tainting level, so not sure the standard mexican/clen use will fly, could really be in for months of suspension
though ive seen ppl get suspensions that only go into effect after a fight, tony yoka just git that though not in vegas

I think it's safe to assume the standards in Mexico on this are not as strict as the US or UK. So he was juicing and not MEATING.
