As I said, this was old news...Wlad was ruled out from this a while ago. And good thing too, no real point of treading back over old ground and winning a pretty meaningless medal, he'd be better off continuing as he is and breaking records in the pros.

Old news, Klitschko has told the media he could see his participation but was never interested in a year long qualification. Hope he can unify with the new WBC champion and targets Joe Louis' record instead of winning a gold medal he had already won in 96......
