Let's say Pulev has a contract to undergo testing for bowel cancer. Then he will complain to Wlad to undergo the same testing? In order to "create a fair and level playing field"? No one cares what testing Pulev undergoes because he doesn't write the rules. What you don't understand is that Pulev is in no position to make demands. I commend Pulev's intentions. He should realize a few things: - it's not a level playing field. He's a mandatory challenger, not more. - he should concentrate on preparation, not on whining and complaining - once he becomes he becomes lineal HW champion of the world he can dictate testing procedures for his future fights That's how simple it is.
Pulev signed upto an olympic athlete type doping programme and people here call that 'shitty'? Given the history of athletics it is clearly necessary and anything that isnt as comprehensive as such testing for an athlete in any sport could perhaps be called shitty-not a more extensive programme than most do?? You guys are defending Wlad and criticising Pulev yet Pulev has more testing than Wlad??
:roflatsch That's hilarious, did it sound good in your head before you typed it? Is having bowel cancer a serious advantage to bring to the ring? FFS that's an abysmal comparison even by your horrendous standards Evidently quite a few people care given the amount of threads & responses this issue has generated. One guy is undergoing extensive random pre fight testing, the other guy (who has an extremely suspicious physique) isn't doing any & being evasive. Boxing fans care about this sort of thing, Klistchko fans don't ^ Klitschko fans will defend anything Wlad does. Log off and have a word with yourself
I just don't understand how's shitty contract that Pulev has is a Wlad's problem ? Wlad is being tested after the fight just like most boxers around the world . So if maidana signed a contract to be tested twice per day , do you think floyd would allow them to test him twice per day, because that would be fair , right? Bottom line is Wlad is being tested just like most boxers around the world and pulev is under shitty contract , but that's not a klitchko problem and who is Pulev to tell Wlad when to take a test?
I'm 100% certain if Pulev went to a limey land to fight Gaye or some other limey boxer, ******s like dr.mo would defend Gaye by calling pulevs demands ridiculous. If pulev wants everybody to take tests like he's taking he should just take a different route and try to make it mandatory for all athletes from all around the world, until then everybody will be operating under current wada rules.
You don't don't shut up about this 'shitty contract' that Pulev signed.. Whats shitty about it. Why don't you tell us all the details of this contract.
What's suspicious about Wlad's physique? He looks like any random Olympic decathlon, 100m sprint or high-jumping competitor -- Who all undergo Olympic style drug testing. We had these threads a million times. No one needs PEDs to achieve Lennox Lewis, Wlads or any other HWs physique. You realize most boxers who were caught for PEDs had very unsuspecting physiques (Botha, Toney) -- yet guys like yourself always bring up Wlad's physique up as evidence he's suspicious :rofl
So let me get this straight. Pulev *VOLUNTARILY* signed a contract placing him a strict Olympic style drug testing regime for the next couple of years, well knowing he can't enforce the same type of testing on his opponents. He *KNEW* he is placing himself at a disadvantage with the type of contract he signed, yet he has the nerve to come to a press conference and complain about the contract he signed? If the contract wasn't 'shitty' then why is Pulev complaining about it. Unless he didn't know what he signed years ago and just realized it now deal:deal
Really? Duck the rest of the post & respond with that? Decathletes don't train the same way boxers do, another silly comparison but not as good as the bowel cancer/steroids one. *Edit- you also compared Wlad to a 100m sprinter & used that as a basis to claim he's not juicing :rofl It isn't normal for a HW of Wlad's age to be that big & lean without a little hormonal help & it isn't just his physique that's suspicious.
Duck what part exactly? High jumpers don't train the same way as 100m sprinters do nor the same way as athletic gymnastic athletes do, yet their physiques (at least on a bodyfat percentage level) are 99% identical. Yet you single out boxing as being "not the same"? It doesn't have to be the 'same' to yield similar results. I guess that doesn't make sense to you does it? Case in point: Firat Arslan is with Sauerland as well, he is 41+, undergoing random drug testing since years. Look at his physique and tell me he's juicing. http://kosovaboxing.org/site/site/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Firat-Arslan-2.jpg Tell me if Arslan looks 'suspicious' by your standards. Then realize he's being randomly tested for *YEARS*. Yes this is how ridiculous your PED analysis by means of looking at a photo of a fighter really is.
Everything apart from a single sentence Lets ignore the fact that Arslan is a cruiserweight who has to make weight, how many other HW's look like Wlad does when they're nearly 40? Also.. Does Arslan put on weight when he's in camp? Is he ridiculously big & lean? Does he have freakish strength & power? Has he had kidney problems? Does he come from a culture & a family with a history of steroid abuse? Arslan also agreed to full random testing, something Wlad has refused to do for years. You really should leave this thread alone
Incorrect. Wlad has undergone random testing for the Povetkin fight. Yes, Arslan is incredibly strong and powerful. He has insane stamina, outworking a 15 year younger champion over 12 rounds. Yes, Arslan could easily put on weight in camp if he was campaigning at HW. Yes, Arslan is Turkish, the biggest black market for Anabolic steroids in continental Europe. You realize Arslan is 44 (!) years old -- a full 6 years older than Wlad. Yet you talk about Wlad's 'advanced age' :rofl I really love this thread. It's not the first one we had on the subject and I enjoyed every one of them. It's always the same old "Oh look Wlad is so muscular, surely that can't possibly be natural" :rofl
