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

That's why I said championship fights. The scheme is obviously expensive but everybody has an interest in it being performed.

If combined with a whereabout scheme for all ranked fighters and a commital by all ranked fighters to being subject to a test at any given time boxing has come a long way.

It would be nice but wont happen, only time a fighter should demand this is if the other fighter had tested positive before or has some strong evidence against him


Like Shane Mosleys opponents should have asked him for a test, that i totally agree on

NO they have to prove you guilty.....when you are takin in you are detained until you are charged with the crime. A "hunch" has to have credibilty to it.

No they do not have to PROVE guilt to set you in a cell! You can be put in a cell without enough truth to set you free....btw,it always helps when you cooperate with the authorities and give them enough proof/ evidence in the first place....

According to Victor Conte the drugs have left the system within 24 hours. This means that scheduled testing is worthless. It most be random or don't bother.

If the drugs leave the system within the 24 hours then the commission's standard testing right after the fight would be more than sufficient. If a drug is out of your system then what kind of effect will it have for you?

Funny how everybody is lauding Floyd and Mosley for undergoing random USADA testing, to ensure that none among them is using PED's. Then comes the revelation that they were last tested 18 and 19 days, respectively, before the fight. If they had both consented to being tested up to the day of the fight, why didn't USADA test them much closer to the fight to completely remove any doubts that any one of them are on something? ONLY FOOLS CAN'T SEE THAT WHILE BOTH FLOYD AND MOSLEY HAVE CONSENTED TO UNLIMITED TESTING, THEY ALREADY HAD AN 18-DAY CUTOFF PERIOD IN PLACE. Go ahead, tell me just one valid reason why they were not tested maybe even 5 days before the fight. Oh, .... what? OK, i get it, USADA was sure they would not juice that close to the fight. LMAO. USADA must think you all are idiots to believe that.

Yet, when Pacquiao now agrees to the 14-day cutoff put forth by Floyd in the failed negotiations, these idiots would say that is not good enough, Pacquiao should agree to being tested until the day of the fight. That Travis Tygart a**hole even had the temerity to say that Pacquiao's offer is not good enough because it would not be unlimited testing. Apparently what is good for the DUCK(er) is not good for the gander.

i have a good question, why instead of the urine test given a couple of days before the fight, wasnt a blood test given? i mean since blood is suppose to capture everything? And why did both Mosley and May have the same cutoff?

Disagree completely. Drugs are so efficient today that it's only a precious few (******) athletes that get caught in todays scheduled testing.

So in essense everybody is a suspect.

Because the drugs are not used in the fight itself, but in the training.

It's funny, how foreign fighters are the only fighters rejecting the OST. Yet, look @ guys like Mayweather, Mosley, Berto, Bradley, Ward, and Green who have no problem stating they'll take the test.

Just sayin...

In that case your being detained until enough evidence can be put toghter to charge you, if there isnt evidence you get realised....but your not convicted in that case, i mean they cant put a jury at a crime scene to decide guilt.

Your talking about a situation were a person accuses another person of a crime. In that case the cop decides if the accuser given him enough evidense to take the suspect in.....Plus the "hunch" is for an officer to search a person or pull them over, not a hunch from a civilion
