    Wladimir Klitschko will be randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association throughout training camp for his April 29 showdown with Anthony Joshua at Wembley Stadium in London.

    Klitschko said following a press conference Tuesday at Madison Square Garden to promote their heavyweight title fight that Las Vegas-based VADA will test him during his eight weeks of preparation in Ukraine and Austria. London’s Joshua (18-0, 18 KOs) said Tuesday that he wouldn’t fight Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) if both boxers weren’t subject to stringent testing for performance-enhancing drugs.

    That was fine by Ukraine’s Klitschko, who has been criticized for not regularly participating in Olympic-style blood and urine testing for PEDs.

    USADA has fallen off the map, now known for being synonymous with cheaters.

    Wlad is at the end of his career so a loss doesnt mean much anymore. He'll take whatever terms as he knows how much cash is on the table

    The more testing the better. I think it needs to be a global requirment the issue is financially its not exactly viable until you reach elite level. I cant see those local journeymen fighting over rank 50th in the division forking out the coin for it.

    I think any belt organisation should nake it a requirement to submit to random testing if you are scheduled to fight for any title.

    this testing before fights is not enough, it should be random the whole year, I think only Nonito did that

    Its prob gotta get worse before it gets better. Ray mancini killing duk jo kim led to a stop of 15 round fights. Someone will die to a fighter on PEDs and only then can i see any significant changes being put in place. If any alphabet steps up and wants to be the first to demand testing i think it could lead to them falling behind and being seen as lesser then the others if the ped problem is as big as alot of people think it is. It could also have a positive effect but no ones going to risk it until something happends

    Far from having reason to defend browne.
    He won the title in russia,was caught taking fat burners then cleared.
    1. Why would browne use a fat burner
    2. When the spotlight is on himvwith allegations of drug use,he thinks **** it weres the juice ?
    Maybe im naive
