A) Povetkin for alleged failed test.
B) Stiverne for backing out
C) Both equally

There is no way you can argue with Stivernes decision to not get in the ring with a cheat!

Yeah its unsafe to fight against people using drugs

Didn't Stiverne fail a test ahead of the fight too?

I'm surprised more people aren't mad at Stiverne. Unlike the Wilder situation, they were going to let the fight go thru. Right?

Yes, but Povetkin was ready to fight him anyway.

Povetkin was like "I bet my PEDs are better".

Holy crap. I could post in 100 different THREADS that Stiverene accidentally injested a substance on the banned list from an over the counter ENERGY DRINK, but some here wouldn't get it. Huge difference.

No one can blame Stiverene for not fighting. The WBC would not sanction it anyway. Povetkin should be banned.

Povetkin certainly. Stiverne had every right to pull out when he knew he was a facing a fighter on PED's.

Neither at all. I didn't care about the fight anyway. If anything, I'm thankful for Povetkin giving some more love to his fanatical boxrec fans.

And he didn't when he was facing Wilder ?

Wilder's never tested positive for PED's
