Povetkin refusing VADA testing...could be trouble

[j0zef]

More unverified garbage. They should really split up NSB into articles posted by BPP and into the "bull****" section where people like this guy can post their wild theories.

Of course Povetkin should be stripped of his mandatory status if refuses VADA testing. The WBC is requiring it, not Wilder. This isn't really that complicated..

Absolutely. The WBC needs to take a stance here and unrank Povetkin if he doesn't comply with organizational requirements.

That's what I'm asking for - a source.

Where did you hear this? In person, on Twitter, on a forum, etc?

In person. One-on-one conversations. I work in this sport.

No sweat if you don't believe it. The dispute will come out eventually. Time will tell.

You really need to post sources if you're going to make such claims.

NSB needs to delete these types of threads unless there is a source. Whether it's true or not isn't even my point either.

It's true there was article of Povetkin promoter saying Povtkin won't do VADA testing.

I don't blame Wilder at all given the BS that is going on with Lucas Browne. If you're clean then testing shouldn't be a problem.

The WBC recently teamed up with VADA to have VADA administer the WBC's mandatory drug testing.

I'm hearing rumors that the Povetkin camp is refusing to undergo VADA testing.

Could this keep the fight from going forward? If I were Wilder, I'd be very nervous and very su****ious of Povetkin refusing to use VADA.

Having a non-Russian organization conduct the testing is critical, considering that last year, the World Anti-Doping Agency suspended the Russian testing agency (RUSADA) for non-compliance with global anti-doping rules. WADA accused RUSADA of covering up cases of doping by Russian athletes, giving them advance knowledge of supposedly surprise tests and allowing banned athletes to continue competing.

Should Wilder refuse to participate in the fight unless Povetkin agrees to VADA testing as WBC requires?

Should the WBC strip Povetkin for refusing to comply with the WBC's new drug testing requirements?

Not asking if it's true or not simply asking for a source.

OP is now saying his source was in person, so if he says he's spoken to the WBC and Wilder, in person, I can't really do much with that since I have no idea who OP is. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
