Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager Hopes Povetkin Agrees To Strict Drug Testing

What's the problem? Povetkin & Klitschko had strict drugtesting if I remember correctly? I can't recall for sure but didn't Wlad refuse to use the Russian agency?

Never had a problem with fighters wanting better Drug Testing. If both are clean then I don't see why that would be a problem

Wilder was a scrawny Pencil who knock nobody out in amateurs and he packs on 20 pounds of Muscle which is hard when you box due to all the aerobic exercise you due. Remember it was Floyd accusing everyone of being on Steroids and he was the one busted washing it out of his system with his IV gadget. He's pretending to be clean accuse others while you roid

You sound as naive as a high school chick.

Sigh

Wlad-Povetkin had a number of testing agencies used. NADA (Germany) and RUSADA were involved. I can't remember off the top of my head who the 3rd body was. Theres no issue here really. Wilder can ask the WBC to enforce VADA

Yep.

Povetkin's sure to be full of Meldonium!

Povetkin's Russian promoter won the bid therefore the local commission is responsible for the testing procedure. If the fight had been in the US it had been the state commission.

Povetkin should agree to undergo random testing carried out by VADA. This should leave any controversy aside in terms of PED use.

Exactly. As long as Povetkin agrees to VADA testing that should alleviate any concerns that Wilder's team might have.

If memory serves me right, the issue of drug testing nearly crumbled the Klitschko-Povetkin fight. Povetkin and Ryabinsky wanted Rusada and Klitschko wouldnt fight unless the German testing organization and the BDB oversaw the fight. Klitschko got his way in the end.

[richardt]

Yep.

Povetkin's sure to be full of Meldonium!

And your proof???

let Povetking use whatever Gayweather used so he can roid himself to death.
