Stiverne fails drug test - fight with Povetkin STILL ON

Bermane Stiverne has failed his drug test for his upcoming fight with Alexander Povetkin.  


Stiverne tested positive for a banned substance called dimethyamylamine.   He tested positive on November 4 under the WBC Clean Boxing Program.  Stiverne has been fined $75,000 for the failed test.  

The Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA), which conducts all of the WBC’s drug tests, will design a specific testing protocol for Stiverne ahead of the fight at his cost.

Bermane Stiverne admitted to taking a recovery supplement called SUPERHARM after some staff at the gym he works out in recommended it.  I guess if you can't trust a staff member of a gym, who can you trust?

The winner of this bout will be the mandatory for Deontay Wilder.
