Seems like Wladimir has something to hide. I never had concerns before about Wladimir and PEDs bc I didn't care, he was already a massive man but now he sounds very su****ious.

Whoever wins the purse bid has the rights to the promotion, not outside things like testing.

There's too much money on the line for either party. Just choose a 3rd party test and be done with it,

The champ calls the shots period - Champ doesn't get dictated to either, especially an established reigning champ with dozens of title defenses under his belt !

lol -- The German testing agency has the best reputation. That's what's been used. The issue is Wladimir is the real champ and the paper cham is trying to dictate terms that have never been an issue before. Also they won an outrageous purse bid for the fight to take place in russia. That combined with insisting the drug testing take place with a russian body makes it seem su****ious on Povetkins end not his. Also, this isn't the 1st time Povetkin has backed out. It might be a worry that they are going to try something to discredit wladimir and make their boy povetkin look better by paying of the russian testing agency.. and wlad has always been a massive man
