Sauerland works with the WADA/German NADA (random tests)...

[Tom_Tocca]

Good info Tom.

The germans has had their share of doping scandals with Jan Ullrich, Team Telekom, Baumann and the East Germans, so it's only natural that they have to go with strict testing here.

Does this mean that all opponents of Sauerland fighters is subject to random testing as well?

Yes, that's why the spaniard was caught doping...though, I guess this only counts for fights being held on Sauerland Event promoted shows...and IMO this isn't in effect for the opponent when a SE boxer fights on non-SE promoted show...as Iwasn't in Neubrandeburg for tonight's show (we had a pretty heavy snowstorm in that region) I couldn't ask Sauerland in person. I'll try to in early March...

Mikkel Kessler.

So when Andre Ward fought Kessler did he have to do random blood/urine testing?

So nobody in the Super 6 has to do it when they fight AA or Kessler?

And, the Spaniard that got busted... Was it already clarified if it was from a blood or urine testing?

Mikkel Kessler.

damn right.
and hes fine there. theres no better promotion 4 Kess than Sauerland Event.
I remember him knocking Danilo Haussler out, whos was also fightin 4 SE.
Danilo lost, but SE is one of the best promotions in da world and save Kesserls ass.

That's ofcourse the million dollar question given Ward's coorporation with convicted criminal and ex CEO of BALO Victor Conte.

Personally I doubt that he was tested since the fight was promoted by Goosen, but it would be nice to know for sure.

It would be nice to know...

Who promoted the Abraham-Taylor fight? Was the co-promoted or did SE handle everything? And, if it was SE did Taylor do random testing?

[cleaner147]

Had the Valuev - Chagaev canceling also to do something with this NADA.
I cant really remember. The issue was not a drug problem.

whatever since then the Klitschkos wears nonstop in every single fight these: "geimpft and fit" T-shirts.

According to NADA/WADA rules they test both urine and blood but I guess that they found the evidence of the Spaniard having taken something illegal in his urine b/c it was later revealed that it was a drug for fast weigh draining and disguise of possible other drugs like steroids....

Given the contract between SE and ARD as well as SE being the promoter for this event yes, Jermain Taylor was definately tested...

It was Sauerland.

Whether Taylor was tested we'll have to get Tom to ask.

Anyway Taylor doesn't strike me as the type who'd cheat but then again; who would have thought Mosley to be a roider?
