    Will he be banned for life now? Its a great shame we never got to see him against Wilder or Stiverne. His only loss in his career was to Wlad. I think he would have beaten Parker or Haye had he faced them.

    Adds up perfectly..it's simply the unmanageable and uncontrollable world of PEDs in sport...

    Are you sure there isn't a wider political issue at play here?

    That's guaranteed what's happening. Russians are being vilified across multiple arenas and at least in sport, they're doing no different than several of the other big nations. Stiverne tested positive just a month previous and was allowed to go on

    Hes juiced to the gills , he miraculously becomes far more lean and muscular at the age of 37 while also failing two drug tests in a year.

    That's not proof of drugs use...Plenty of "tubbier" people/athletes etc can change appearance without using PEDs. 37 is hardly an OAP either.

    He failed two tests. One for Meldonium. That one for me is a farce.

    B sample tested positive aswell and as a result he's been dropped from the WBC ranking, proves without any doubt hes a juicer.

    He was taking Ostarine. Almost certainly micro-dosing. I don't think it's a steroid, more of an imitation that really doesn't have a lot of evidence behind it. Amateur hour to be honest. It didn't get his system by accident either. Just looking for another way to dope.

    I honestly think people in fight sports who dope should do time, hard time and lots of it...

    I see Wilder got an american court to award him $5 mill in the lawsuit.

    Best of luck getting the money off him , I think he is wasting his own time suing him to be honest
