I hope Povetkin takes da test too because Wilder is going to be up against the judges, fans, and the tainted water in the corner already.

I said this from the very beginning, when rumors about a fight in Russia emerged: VADA testing or no fight over there. It's a matter of principle, because I'm not a Wilder fan.

So did he agree to VADA?

[MDPopescu]

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.

... Ha-ha-ha... No shit? I'm surprised...

Pride FC had many Yakuza investors in the pocket, and it was told that some contracts allowed steroids use. You wonder why Fedor Emelianenko never really crossed into the American mainstream and UFC or perhaps his career findings would've been crumbled.

cold war or not, I think Rocky IV's subliminal message was that Russia would do anything to win...even in combat sports and their hero investments

Lol, this is ******ed. Look at Wilder and look at Povetkin. Wilder's 10 times more likely to be on PEDs.

Wilder's team is willing to do VADA testing. Povetkin's team is not.

You have to wonder why.
