Comments Thread For: Klitschko Will Not Accept Povetkin's Drug Test Demands

[Russian Crushin]

who cares if he's on roids or not? It's pretty common amongst athletes...even if he was on roids he just say I used them to heal my injury...every athletes excuse...they are doctors in sports medicine so they know how to screen if they have the drugtest dates...that's why guys refuse because if the test is random they can't prepare....people don't be so blind...if anyone could cheat & get set with it,it's a DOCTOR in sports medicine & vitali was caught once before...I've cheated & passed 7 drug tests so it would be pretty easy for the klits as long as they know the dates of testing.

HAHAHAHAH taking someone elses piss to pass a drug test is not the same as boxing testing, especially in Germany

Again they would rather see thier champ fight then take an extra test and not fight....if he refuses and the fight still take place and then only 25000 people of the projected 50000 people show up, then yea thats means he condemned over there

But im sure 50000 will show up

Maybe, maybe not. But the repercussions on not wanting to prove innocent, will mean a horrible loss of face for the immensely popular Wlad. Sauerland knows this, hence the demand for random tests.

Personally I don't understand why the klits doesn't comply. I hope there will be a better response in the next 24 hours, than the one put forward by Vitali.

PLus he said is easy for an athlete to beat OST, stop ignoring my comment

Point is that the testing must be random to have any detterring effect.

He will not lose any fans over this....he will be just as popular as always and wont lose any sleep over this

So why did the master of drugs(COnte) say OST testing can be beat?

[damned1974]

I mean I wouldn't have a problem with it if it wasn't an extra thing and commissions ran it so it was expected.

Also need it really be random? I think that is why alot of fighters are hesitant to do it because I know I find it irritating when someone I don't want to see comes randomly to my house wanting something.

Why can't a time be scheduled once a week for blood testing? I doubt you can flush out everything in one week every week for 6-8 or how ever long it is leading up to the fight.

As it is now, OST is just some extra thing to do and why would you want to bother do something extra that you don't need to do?

Personally,I don't see the need to defend some guy who makes millions of dollars bashing people with his fists and refuses these tests.
Ideally,it would be great if all piss tests covered the basis, but as of now they don't.

My only point is that people generally scrutinize or cast doubt to people who refuse these tests...The more they refuse and show rigidity towards them,then the more su****ion is headed their way...whether the one refusing is clean or not is another story,but it is a "catch 22". They pass the commissions weak and exploitable current testing system and claim to be clean,but "hiss" at OST as though they were a vampire looking at a crucifix.... seems strange to a lot of people.It is easier to follow through and support strict testing-even admirable.

did they catch shane?

The history of cycling superstar Jan Ullrich suggests otherwise, but we'll have to wait and see.

So why did the master of drugs(COnte) say OST testing can be beat?

But did he say that? Didn't he emphasize that randomness was the critical point?

This thing with Wlad refusing will not even come close to the same tallk like with pac because a contender is asking and not floyd.....and for some odd reason only floyd fans will now accuse him of roids

I'm a big klit fan and I wont accuse him of anything, but in this day and age his actions so looks su****ious, but it's still early days.
