Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder-Alexander Povetkin To Have VADA Testing

[hhs661]

This is the way boxing fights should get made. Unlike other fights, I'm actually getting more hyped for these two to go at it

[Robbie Barrett]

Do they get to choose when they start like Golovkin? Only 3 or 4 weeks of testing?

[Sledgeweather17]

No shyt. I was quoting the imbecile who said Povetkin refused testing, I think he was a Wilder fan not wanting Povetkin to take the fight really, dude is in fear.

There were FAR more people not so secretly hoping that Wilder would duck Povetkin than there were on the flipside of the coin. So much so that calling out the guy you're calling out seems so mundane and irrelevent.

People even blatantly ignored facts (povetkin asking for an extention twice and Sulaiman (we be crooks president) spelling it out in no uncertain words that Povetkin was the reason for extentions) and continued to spew their made up accusations.

I understand ignoring opinions in order to maintain your stance, but I can't possibly respect someone who ignores FACTS? That just means you're crazy and out of your damn mind as far as I'm concerned.

Now that this is out of the way complete the contracts and lets get it going

[Teetotaler]

haha wilder got lucky wbc just recently started drug testing. I would have trusted USADA more though

[BennyBlanco]

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

Where in that quote does he say that he accepts VADA testing for this bout? Or that Povetkin will submit to VADA testing?

Misdirection. Trust me. It's still an issue. Six weeks out from the fight and testing hasn't started. Big issue.

Good news. I really don't want anything getting in the way of this fight.

[bojangles1987]

Great the fighters are being PED testing a month & a day or two before the fight As long as these guys never used certain PEDs before a month & a day or two ago & had possible lifelong changes made to their body this fight should be a level playing field lol.

Only in boxing does anyone thinks this sorta testing matters much. There needs to be 24/7/365 testing for PED testing to matter. The upside to PEDs isn't just noticeable in the weeks leading up to the fight.

That's why the only guys I give any real credit to are the few who perform year-round testing.

[Eff Pandas]

This is something the ABC bodies could collectively afford to implement for the fights they sanction (fighters in their top 15)

I agree. And I think there are more options with various boxing en****** getting 24/7/365 PED testing.

Its not even up for discussion, and I wonder why..

I agree again.

And the answer to the why is cuz the upside isn't worth more than the downside for the people with the money yet. Someone is going to need to die or be severely injured by someone who tests positive for a PED in a high profile fight before 24/7/365 PED testing even legitly gets on the table.
