Why come the same guys burying Povetkin now give RJJ, Toney, Mosley, etc a free pass?

    The tests leading up to the fight are not as strong as the ones nearing the fight. The closer to the date the tests get ramped up, so its not unusual to not come up positive weeks before.

    Considering they have about the strictest MANDATORY testing by any national governing body, and ultimately the harshest penalties, it's just my opinion that they be kept out of this discussion.

    Rarely does one of their elite levels pop, while it's more likely a prospect or club fighter might since their don't have the type of strict dieticians and S&C coaches on staff to make sure the supplements they're experimenting with don't burn em.

    Potvetkin, recently, obviously has a great team around him and were quick to stop the regimine when news broke it was being considered to be banned.

    Roid Jones, Mosely, Toney, etc., took serious drugs............I remember when Roid was caught in Indiana, Mosely admitted it, drugs are legal for Void, no limit for him............
