Dont try to vindicate this guy just because Povetkin failed the test he supposedly refused to take..
Hmmm....that sure sounds like Povetkin's team was refusing to undergo VADA testing, as the original post said.
And what was the date of the original post? March 30...a little more than seven weeks before the fight...same time as when DiBella was threatening to pull Wilder out.
I guess that's all pure coincidence, huh?

Could this keep the fight from going forward? If I were Wilder, I'd be very nervous and very suspicious of Povetkin refusing to use VADA.
Expressing concern over lack of neutrality – Wilder and VADA are both based in the United States – WoB sought an independent firm in Switzerland to handle such testing. It is being argued by DBE – on the basis of information provided, although it would have to be revealed should this go to trial – that Povetkin’s side simply wanted less stringent testing as to not get caught undergoing what has been suggested by DBE as sophisticated doping methods.
As a result, a fight whose purses were determined as the result of WoB submitting a winning bid of $7.15 million at a WBC hearing in late February endured a delay of more than a month in getting both fighters enrolled in random testing. The WBC repeatedly intervened, even reminding WoB that all of its fights follow the same protocol.
Hmmmmm...sounds suspiciously like the original post back in March saying that the Povetkin camp was rejecting VADA testing...
