    Please explain how demanding that testing is carried out by the same agency who carry out the testing for all of your other fights (and saying otherwise the fight aint happening) is accepting neutral testing.

    Wlad was tested in 1996 as he won olympic gold in Atlanta!
    He was tested as a professional boxer in England, USA several times.

    I don't think there's anything wrong with the offer put forward by Hryunov. If Pov is worried about Wlad doping and is suspicious of his relationship with the German agency, and if K2 are worried about the Russian agency then the fairest thing to do is to use both as well as a third, neutral agency to test the samples.

    To decline this and walk away from $17million because would be a load of ****, so hopefully this will be accepted and the fight gets made. It'd be a great event and hopefully a decent fight. We don't need another one of them falling apart over drug testing.

    To be effective, testing should be year-round, not just right before or right after fights.

    Well you need to knock the other guy out in Germany to get a draw in a boxing match.

    I thought Hryunov proposed a 3 party system with samples being provided to NADA, RUSADA, and VADA? That's the best solution imo.

    Yeah that's what I meant. Hryunov's proposal seems like the best idea. There's absolutely no reason that I can see to turn that down, so hopefully will see that accepted and the issue put to bed.

    On a more serious note:
    People are warning Wladimir, not to go to Moscow/Russia because of corruption or deceptive practices. But now, when Hrunov wants the Russian testing, everybody screams "Wlad is a cheat".
    I can understand the situation as very suspicious, but think about the whole safety/russia/corruption thing. Just think about that aspect.

    So, you are OK with that I take it? That is corruption. Period. End of discussion.

    This "random Bulgarian" grew up speaking Bulgarian. He had to learn Russian for school. His mother insisted he also learn English. He went to college in China so had to learn that language. While there he met his future wife, Japanese, so he learned that language too. He is currently learning Arabic so he can listen to Al Jazzeera and get that news unfiltered. You really want to play this game with me? I know my source here.

    Take a trip to Siberia for me and interview ***** Riot. See what they have to say about the freedom of the press and what happens when you criticize Putin there.

    Not everybody. Just Britard Hayeturds. This is just another stinking pile of **** from them because Haye embarrassed them so badly this is all they have left.

    There isn't a need for 3 testing systems. Wlad doesn't trust the Russian one. Pov doesn't trust the German one. Easy solution is to use a neutral testing agency. Hell get the clowns that cornered Thompson in the locker room after he shattered Price's Glass Jaw. Use Britain, France, Switzerland, hell use Mexico.

    Having 3 different A & B samples is ridiculous and just opens the door for some funny business. Too many samples in different hands. Pick one NEUTRAL agency and use it. Problem solved.
