'Povetkin will refuse VADA testing... Doe'

Make sure they test Wilder. Can't trust that guy.

He has to take it.
Though, WBC doesn't enforce a strict and longer schedule for VADA testing.

Now Wilder has no excuses with this fight.

[Weltschmerz]

Should satisfy both parties, VADA is an independent organization with a good reputation. Transparency is important, especially with the Lucas Browne debacle in mind. Fans need to able to maintain the idea that wilder and Povetkin are on an even playing field and that Wilder can travel 'safely'.

They can be trusted and recognized by the World Anti-Doping Agency," Ryabinsky said.

They're not actually. VADA isn't a WADA signatory.

Where is that moron that claimed Povetkin would refuse testing?

[ShoulderRoll]

Excellent news. It's good that they will have a level playing field. May the best man win.

Where is that moron that claimed Povetkin would refuse testing?

Probably in the same place as that moron that claimed Wilder would duck Povetkin or never travel to Russia.

Where is that moron that claimed Povetkin would refuse testing?

He didnt say he 'would' he said he 'had'.

He's gone to ground.
