Comments Thread For: Promoter: Wach, Durodola Both Failed Drug Tests

[MDPopescu]

Nobody will want to fight in Russia again after this -- unless they are tested by VADA or something like that.

Maybe Wach is a cheat, but in the instance of Durodola and Jones (vs Lebedev) you have to wonder. The Russian testers seem real good at catching visiting fighters, especially if they beat the home guy.

Jones was caught again, he's a cheat. Wach is already a confirmed cheat and he lost to Povetkin.

I'm not sure if they have withheld their pay, but that's exactly what they should do with cheats, hit them in the pocket taking the incentive away.

Edit: in fact, the article says at the end that Wach was paid

lol Russians be butthurt of Duradola exposing Dichinny Kudryashov.
Surprised Afolabi didn't "test" positive yet for flattening Chakhiev.
Reminds me of the Jones-Lebedev deal.

Feel for duradola. That was an incredible battle in which he himself was hurt. Sucks to have that taken away from him.

Jones was dirty, he tested positive again. The Russian promoter just won $1.2 million from Don King in New York over the incident.

Afolabi didn't test positive because he's clean.

This whole thing just feels funny to me

Ditto. I don't know, but it just seems convenient, especially since they were not paid and the Russian Drug Agencies are under heavy scrutiny. I wonder when the house fighters there got paid?

Dont trust these guys. It seems like everytime you beat one of their guys theres a problem.

Afolabi probably didn't test because both Duradola and Ofalabi testing positive would look far too su****ious.

This is alternatively probably the reason Lateef Karoidey didn't test positive. Because he got knocked out. :lol:

Are you serious? We all gave Jones hte benefit of the doubt the first time...

But you DO know he tested positive A SECOND TIME which is why they called off the rematch the day of the fight?


ANd htose findings were BUTTRESSED by another agency?

You DO know that, right? I'm assuming you don't - which is why you spoke such utter garbage trying to defend a cheat like Jones.

Ultimately the majority of top heavyweights from the 80's onwards have been on steroids. It's so rife that it could almost not be classed as 'cheating'. Tyson, Bruno, Holyfield, Lewis, both Klitschko's, currently Joshua are just a few highly su****ious examples.

But you don't feel for the guy who got cheated out of a W?


You do realize that people cried the same foul when Jones/Lebedev happened, but leading up to the rematch, Jones tested positive AGAIN... And this time, B samples were given to other agencies, in which they confirmed the findings...

Why is it hard to accept Durodola had to cheat to win?
