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

Yes two years

He might have been highly rated yes, but he and his handlers have all the time said that he wasn't ready to face a klit yet.

No su****ion for turning down a drug test? You must be on drugs yourself.

No su****ion because it's obvious that Povetkin is using this as a way to make their fighter have an edge. If the fight does go through without testing and Wladimir wins they have the edge because they can indirectly act like well maybe Wlad just beat him becasue he was on something. They planted that seed. If Wlad does comply, well who knows what tricks they might have up their sleeves. Povetkin's team is asking for all the terms like he's the champion. I think I read somewhere that they even want the fight held in Russia. And do you know anything about this anti-doping agency? I don't. Who's to say that if Wlad does comply they won't have some kind of leverage to make it look like Wlad is doping to take away the belt. What su****ious is Povetkin's team bringing this up.

Just like Pacquiao didn't want to then good for Klitchsko not to be bullied into this **** especially when its a nobody asking for it. Look if fighters want to be tested good for them but to bash others because they won't, its just plain idiotic!

Who is Povetkin to demand Kilt take a drug test? I am not against drug testing but he has no power to demand such a thing.

This thread is hilarious. Almost everyone is saying Povetkin has no right to make such demands and that the fact that Wlad has turned down his demands is not evidence that Wlad is on steroids, and does not mean that he's ducking Povetkin (which is all true) - but almost everyone has been taking the precise opposite viewpoint when it comes to Pacquiao and Mayweather. Talk about double standards!

Either Wlad is guilty, or Pacquiao is not.

And if Povetkin is just using it as a tactic to get an edge (and is not trying to clean up the sport), then exactly the same applies to Mayweather.

And if Pacquiao is ducking Floyd then Wlad is ducking Povetkin.

The same standards apply to both fights. End of story.

now Floyd is a role model you must be kiddin' !!!!!

Eastern European and Russian athletes are always getting busted for steroids. With Wlad not wanting to take the tests I have to look at his career with some su****ion now.

[Left Right Left]

As a professional athelete across all sports random drug tests should be the norm and not have to be negotiated. Especially with boxing and ufc. If the olympics require it for its events then why not paid professionals. Are they exempt from testing because their professionals?
