    There's big suspicious that Wlad is in PEDs. He never allows anyone to test him before a fight, expect his own testing group that he controls.

    Is Wlad in PEDs? Yes or No? If Yes then he should be demonized same as Povetkin. Look that Pulev KO, if he used Peds to do that then its as bad as Povetkins performance against Duhaupas.

    Without solid proof then I can't give a "yes" or "no" answer.

    I don't think so. Somewhere along the line he would have been popped already. He works really hard at his craft. Drugs are for those that want the results without the work.

    Besides, if he was on something hardcore he'd have looked better in his last fights.

    The PC answer: He's never tested positive, so nothing to see here. Only guys who flunk the test are cheaters, and those cheaters are the outliers in the sport. It's not fair to all the other guys playing fair.

    The genuine answer: If you think most world level boxers you've heard of haven't been doing PED's to maximize themselves, it's best to only rag on those who test positive. Completely ignore what else goes into it. Much like sausage making and politics, the less you know of its creation, the better.

    Cherry picking one or two guys who've always tested clean still distorts what's actually happening into a false narrative. Boxing isn't filled with tons of clean fighters and a couple cheats. PED's are the cost of doing business for most of these guys. If you're not on them, you've got to be prepared for the chance your opponent very well is. Most fighters aren't going to handicap themselves like that given their health and livelihood is on the line.

    I can't say whether or not Wlad specifically is on something, but given the longevity and dominance he's had, I know better than to be surprised if it turns out he was/is.

    With nearly 70 pro fights and over 100 in the amateurs, Wlad has always tested clean. I think that answers the question.

    Who here believes Lance armstrong took PEDS? If you say yes then i can only say he never actually tested positive for PEDS his peers are the ones who ratted him out.

    What I well say about Vlad is this his diligent in everything he does, and it doesn't hurt to have a PHD in chemistry along the way and be the richest and most recognisable fighter still active.

    I don't think you get his point. He was never caught doping in his career. So just because Wlad was never caught doesn't mean he wasn't doping. He is just clever enough not to be caught.

    I know what point he was attempting to make, but he really didn't make one though.

    And when you say he was clever enough to not get caught, you are essentially just starting an unsubstantiated rumor.
