Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Promoter: Trace of Meldonium Was Just 70 Nanograms

[SalimShady1212]

Yea the test shows little in his system because he stopped using it. Doesnt mean he was not using it to train previously. Chances are he used it after January. And still had the slightest bit in his system. So he messed up. even if he wins he will be considered a cheater. Nice work guy.

The substance was legal until very recently thus explaining why there's such a small amount in his system

Another Russian cheater. Could be why kov didn't want tot take testing against pascal.

LOL what? He did take it, and passed VADA. He's also living in USA gtfoh

Apparently it's possible they aren't lying about when he took it. Obviously I have no way of knowing but here is an article from Reuters:




Meldonium can take months to leave body


"The drug that has produced more than 100 positive sports doping tests since being outlawed on Jan. 1 can take "several months" to completely leave the body, the manufacturer of meldonium told Reuters on Monday.

A number of athletes say they took the cardiac drug before it was banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).

Latvian manufacturer Grindeks said meldonium has a half-life of between four and six hours but "its terminal elimination from the body may last for several months" depending on factors such as dose, duration of treatment, and sensitivity of testing methods.

Meldonium has been in the spotlight since Russia's former world number one tennis player Maria Sharapova stunned the sporting world by announcing this month that she had failed a doping test for the drug after a loss to Serena Williams at this year's Australian Open.

At least 16 Russian sportsmen and women, including speed skating Olympic gold-medallist Semion Elistratov, have been caught using meldonium since the ban came into effect, along with dozens of competitors from other countries.

While the comments by Grindeks would appear to offer one reason why there have been so many positive tests for meldonium, WADA said athletes were made aware that the substance would be added to the banned list last October.

"The date an athlete sample is collected is the date any subsequent anti-doping rule violation is asserted to have taken place," a WADA spokesman said on Monday.

"At any hearing that follows, the onus is then on the athlete to explain how the substance was in his or her body.

"It is important to note that every year all stakeholders are advised on any changes to the Prohibited List three months before it enters into force which provides sufficient time to be educated on any changes to the list."

Sharapova, who is provisionally banned while the International Tennis Federation (ITF) investigates, said she had been taking the drug legally for 10 years for health reasons and had not realized it had been added to WADA's banned list.

Russia's four-times world champion swimmer Yulia Efimova also tested positive for meldonium, but said in an interview with Russia 24 on Monday she had never been informed it was banned.

"The last time I took meldonium was when it was still legal. I took it for medical reasons and read the instructions carefully," she said.

"Experts are now looking at how traces of meldonium could be in my sample months after I stopped taking it."

Four Russian track-and-field athletes have also tested positive, adding further scrutiny to a nation currently banned from international track-and-field competitions after last year's disclosures of widespread cheating and corruption.

Meldonium, marketed as Mildronate and a common medicine across eastern Europe, was developed to treat heart conditions such as angina. It was also used extensively for three decades to toughen up Soviet troops in action at high altitude.

WADA placed it on its watch list in 2015 after mounting evidence of its performance-enhancing benefit and widespread use in various sports."

Interesting read thank you. There is no reason to cancel this fight IMO.

"The drug that has produced more than 100 positive sports doping tests since being outlawed on Jan. 1 can take "several months" to completely leave the body, the manufacturer of meldonium told Reuters on Monday.

The definition for several is - "more than two but not many".

It took 7-8 months from the time Pov took it to the time he popped positive. 7-8 is not several.

[saintpat]

"MAY" take several months. Doesn't say how many months, doesn't say it "DOES" take several months, just maybe.

But the crucial info is that he passed tests before this, THEN he failed. Which suggests that it was introduced into his body after the negative tests.

Regardless, he clearly has it in his body so he just as clearly is still benefitting from its effects as a PED. No way he should be allowed to fight until such time as it is completely out of his system.

That doesn't mention the absolute fact that he could have fought Wilder in January but instead took a fall tuneup and pushed the date back. And that his promoter originally wanted to use an unnamed "top European lab" rather than a world-respected drug-testing agency for testing for this fight, and that Wilder's camp wanted the testing to start much earlier but Povetkin's promoter stalled and the WBC had to intervene to force them to use VADA.

All very su****ious.

Povetkin was negative in VADA tests on 4/7, 4/8, 4/11. Positive on 4/27. Story that substance in system was from 2015 before ban is fantasy.

The likely explanation is that he was doping the entire time and was using an effective masking agent that beat VADA's tests. Unfortunately for him, something went wrong for the 4/27 test.

Fat dan knows nothing about blood tests or margins of error. 70 nanograms could test as clean half the time. It's a miniature trace amount. The moron thinks Povetkin could take a drug thats in your system for half a year a few days ago and already have it down to 70 nanograms?

Why do these people (you included) even comment when they're taking wild guesses and shots in the dark? Your previously exposed cuckolding fetish and fat Dan's slow career.

this thing "passes" PED test but maria sharapova a 100% female tall and thin whth no muscle fails PED for the same drug found in povetkin. drug was legal until a few months ago

That is not working. When you uploaded the image to imgur, then open the image in your browser, and then right click on it and choose copy image url or similar. Then you can insert it here.

It should end on .jpg, .png or similar

You need a hobby. How about toy trains?
