    Wilder never "shot down" any notion you meatball.
    They are doing normal testing as far as been reported

    Actually Wilder said he thinks he was tested but doesn't know (how is that even possible) and said it doesn't matter if he gets tested before or after the fight. Sounds HIGHLY suspicious

    Actually, this is the transcript of what was asked and answered:

    Q. My first question is to Szpilka. Where are you guys at right now with the drug testing?


    A. Szpilka

    I'm still waiting. I'm still waiting. I don't know why.



    D. Wilder

    Well I don't know what he's talking about. I just went to LabCorp yesterday and got blood drawn for the fight. So this is a championship fight. You're not going to have a championship fight without being drug-tested. Period.


    That's what was said about 10 days ago: Wilder said he had blood drawn just the day before. Szpilka is the one saying he doesn't know anything about it.

    "I still wait" Szpilka simply stated during a recent media conference in fielding a question on the subject of drug testing. "I don't know why it hasn't begun."
    Wilder claimed to have blood drawn from Labcorp near his training camp when posed with the same question. However his follow up response left cause for pause.
    "Whether it's pre fight or post fight there will be random drug testing involved" wilder insisted "this is for the heavyweight championship of the world."

    Sounds suspicious to me but people will make of it what they will. I don't know why one guy claims he hasn't been tested. And the other guy gives some confusing lackadaisical response like that.
