Comments Thread For: Povetkin's Team Want Klitschko To Pass WADA Drug Tests

[SoldierWarrior]

Agreed, this is a clear attempt at a duck. Unfortunately for him, Wlad will take the tests no problem and then proceed to beat Povetkin's face to a pulp.

If Wlad agrees to the annoying testing, Povetkin and Atlas will still duck Wlad. They will find something to argue about, maybe money or something ****** like that. I'm convinced Atlas and Team Povetkin are pulling *****-made moves to avoid any fight against Wlad.

No problem with demanding a fair fight, anyone that refuses is suspect period.

is Povetkin a mandatory? Why don't they just not fight? Does Wlad need Povetkin?

here's what i got.

He was supposed to challenge Wladimir Klitschko on December, 13th 2008. On October 25, Povetkin withdrew from the fight against Klitschko due to an injury suffered. However, the IBF announced that Klitchko will still have to fight Povetkin until 13 September, 2009, an option that was not exercised.



wtf happens now?

[Left Banned Tua]

Nope. Disagree. Look how one person's request for OST (that was turned down) has turned out.

nothing has happened yet.

i don't think anything can happen until we finally get a national/international sanctioning body.

i don't even know how we can implement random blood testing without one organized sanctioning body.

we'll see.

maybe get random blood testing only in certain states and only for big fights? that's possible.

Don't Germany have a boxing commission that includes Olympic testing already?

Atleast one state in America should have a boxing commission that has Olympic testing. Then perhaps title fights will have to be held there. Then boxers like floyd can demand fights there, Pacquiao has a title, so he can't say no.

It's been two months. We have one major bout already using OST. We have Arthur Abraham. We have Povetkin (for what it's worth--not much). We have the NYSAC reviewing their policies to include random blood and urinalysis. Two months.

Just so everyone is made aware. The WADA drug testing demand has NOTHING to do with Mayweather or that entire situation. Long before Mayweather made a stink for random drug tests, some of the networks in Germany required fighters, who were being televised, to undergo random drug testing to ensure the athletes were clean. All of the Sauerland Event fighters, from Povetkin to Abraham, are bound to take these type of tests. It has nothing to do with Mayweather or anything else. The WADA testing for Povetkin has been there for a long time.

it won't work if not everyone adopts the same policy though.

If they keep making ****** demands, Povetkin will just get stripped of his mandatory status and Wlad will move on. Wlad is the champion, Povetkin is nothing.

There are too many commissions for that to ever happen. The sport doesn't have the same policy NOW. But there's enough reason to believe it'll be done where it matters most. It's already begun.
