    Safin,

    I can tell you have zero understanding go how VADA testing works.

    [url]https://vada-testing.org/about-vada/[/url]

    No, I don't think all he top athletes are cheating. Just a some. Usually the ones who are smaller or older that need the edge.

    The negative and positive tests tell the tale. If you are saying drugs only can last in a system for 8 hours you have no idea.

    For example pot can be found in you system for 90 days ( hair test ).

    Nope. You could say I dislike his popularity for the reasons I stated.

    You forgot headbutter. Is that a word... “head butt user” maybe... however it doesn’t quite roll off the tongue. He used his gianormus skull as a third fist often in addition to the whole “Evan Fields Holyfield” thing. Poor poor Hasim Rahman. Knot in his head like an orange.

    Povetkin UD. Holyfield could only fight in short spurts by that point.

    Holyfield lost to John Ruiz and Chris Byrd when he was about the same age as Povetkin, I would say Povetkin on points...

    Can't say I blame him. I have a pathological hatred of Michael Bentt. Happens to all of us.

    Hey hey
    Ho ho
    Michael Bentt's gotta go
