Not sure that really helps, drug cheating is pretty rampant in the US boxing if you go by the failed tests.

99% of us boxers have failed tests?

I think kova is clean but

That article says drug cheating is rampant in Russia

But kova is now based in America

Kovalev is undoubtedly juicing, as are all boxers....including Pascal. Or do people really think that the guy who has Memo Hererdia working for him is clean?

I'm more interested in what the purpose and psychology of song and dance about PED-testing is about, on the assumption that Pascal is dirty himself.

- Trying to get into Kovalev's head?

- Trying to make sure Kovalev drops any attempts at juicing, paranoid he may get caught, no matter how much his PED supplier assures him that he will pass any test?

- Projecting his own guilt onto others?

- Insecure that Kovalev has better PEDs than him?

- Shifting the blame off himself? Nothing says "I'm clean" to the naive fan than demanding more testing.....Peterson and Berto demanded better testing too before the got caught.

If Pascal is going to be a faggot about it, then Kovalev should man up and stop being one too. It's only 8 ****ing thousand dollars. Jesus, just pay for it yourself. You're getting 55% out of millions.

My guess is that he feels the other organisation is better. And it's not like it's really better, they probably just take 2-3 times more samples than VADA does. So that's why they are that much more expensive, $35K versus $8k. It's a tendency to psychologically feel that something that is much more expensive is better by default too, because it usually is.

I think Pascal should just go ahead and pay VADA to do Kovalev's test though. It's better than nothing, and next time just have it all ironed out in detail on contracts beforehand.

Maybe Pascal's mysterious "other organisation" costs so much more than VADA because they guarantee the right result every time you use them?

"Ok, ze Pascal sample must be negative, as usual, but ze Kovalev sample ... "

"Mysterious organisation" is the most known one world-wide alias WADA. WADA is the World anti-doping agency created with Olympics and also the creator of the world anti-doping code. signed by all those associations.

History has shown that the fighters that are loudest and most outspoken about drug testing are the ones that are caught themselves.

You done ****ed up now, Pascal. Kovalev is going to show you no mercy whatsoever.

he's saying he doesn't care if Vada is used. He's not paying for it.

So why don't Kovalev still do testing.

Pascal is just promoting his fight, he creates drama before each of his fights and it works pretty well this time as I can see, He's name is on every boxing sites these days...

He is also acting as a co-promoter for his fights now so he is making good money compared to a kovalev or even stevenson.
