Don't be silly man. I doubt they're covering anything out. K2 are worried about fake 'positive' results. Also, if Wlad is on PEDs, he will know that his PEDs are undetectable by the German test - Which is why he wants it. Source? Evidence? None at all right? Again, Source? Evidence? What makes you think Hruynov controls the GLOBAL Anti-Dopin Federation? That's just nonsense kid.
Im dont think he's roided up. I think Povektin can beat him with a fair ref. Thats what this is all about.
Pretty much. Except when you get tested the timing and amounts of compuunds have to be carefully monitored. It is not like back in the 90's when far more PED's were used for longer intervals.
When a French newspaper published a story about some of Lance Armstrong's old samples being tested for EPO and coming up positive, he claimed they'd been tampered with. The scientist in charge of the lab explained how its practically impossible to tamper one isolated sample and have it behave in the same way a true positive test would. Will have to find the link. Anyway, it's not even about the Russian agency anymore. Hrunev has proposed a perfectly reasonable alternative solution.
Are you implying a 43 yo Tony Thompson is 10X better than a 40 yo Ray Mercer who only 2 yrs prior gave prime Lennox Lewis all he could handle?????:yep:yep:yep Cuz Wlad fought him without any fear of being hit. UNLIKE LENNY, who essentially fought like modern Wlad for 12 safe rounds.
What this situation says is that Wlad doesn't care about the money, he cares about his legacy. The purse is not worth risking getting screwed by corrupt Russian officials. If Wlad wins, the after-fight tests could somehow come back positive, Wlad is disgraced, and finally Povetkin becomes what Wlad has been for the last several years while Wlad is suspended. All of a sudden that huge purse bid looks like a good investment in crowning a Russian champ who will produce many more big-money fights in Moscow while the only potential threat still around is old man Vitali. That scenario may or may not be likely, but I can hardly blame Wlad for not wanting to risk it. I hope the fight somehow works out anyway.
There are mandatory defenses in your list. However, for the sake of history, it's mostly about the number of defenses. He has an impressive reign in terms of length and activity and that will contribute to his ATG standing. You can't deny he's been willing to fight anyone. It's the "contenders" who tend to turn him down till they're ready to cash out.
You hit the nail on the head buddy. Wlad is using the drug testing as a cover up to the real reason. The reason Wlad will duck Povetkin because K2 is not in control and they know Povetkin is going to use Nady or Cotton as the ref. Wlad knows damn well Nady or cotton will not put up with his holding. I told you weeks ago when K2 lost the bid that this fight will not happen. Wlad is willing to walk away from his biggest payday boxing fans. I'm glad more people are starting to see his true colors. Wlad will not be fighting Povetkin and will be stripped of his WBA belt. Wlad might face Pulev next since Pulev gets a free ride. Wlad will only fight if K2 is in control so he can cheat.
Bull**** he is ducking Povetkin. He needs to fight Povetkin there is not damn excuse for his coward ass not to fight him. The only Mandatory on that list is Thompson. The rest is the easy non risky fights Wlad choose.
Man you are insane. There will be 2 more goddamn countires doing test. A positive test from one would not mean ****. Stop making excuses for your gay hero to duck Povetkin. The reason WLad wont fight Povetkin is because Povetkin gets to choose the ref. Wlad is a coward for ducking Povetkin. I'm glad K2 lost the bid. Wlad will not fight unless he has a ref that will let him hold the entire ****ing fight. At least he is going to get stripped of his WBA belt.
Big time. Povektin is too quick for him inside when he has no ref the help him. No way he fights him. He's to used to easy rides. The WBA should do the right thing and take their belt away from him.
It's a moot point because they've offered to have samples tested by 3 different agencies, including a neutral one.
Yeap thats right. Wlad lovers are trying to defend this duck but there making there self look dumb. There is no excuse for this duck considering Wlad has had a free ride his last 4 fights. This duck is going to make Wlad look bad. The Klitschkos will be remembered for ducking fights more than anything else. This duck rates up there with when Vitali retired so he could duck Rahman.
