Wladimir says no to Povetkin's drug test demands

Absolutely. When I heard that Wlad was considering this fight to take place in Moscow, I was like "Don't ****ing do it!!!". With they way they have been slagging off at Wlad in the Russian media for "ducking" Povetkin I cannot see any boundaries they would not step over to make sure Povetkin wins. wlad should be worried about his health (poison) more than POvetkin's boxing when he's there.

 

When a fighter is too good opponents camps immediatly throw up question marks. I guarentee if Ali, SRL, SRR, Armstrong etc were around today their opponents would all be demanding the tests.

I don't feel it's a ***** move tbh. Wlad does put on 15-20lbs+ of muscle when preparing for a fight. Even though I don't believe he's on anything I can understand if his opponents question it.

Let's say Povetkin decides the fights off because Wlad won't take the test. Who's to say Wlads next opponent isn't suspicious due to him declining and asks for the same test? What if Haye wants the same testing?

Mayweather has opened a can of worms but it was coming anyway. Lets just hope the various governing bodies pull their heads out of their asses and gets this testing straight.

 

You fixed nothing.

Povetkin is well within his right to ask and Wlad is well within his right to decline. But if Wlad declines it's obvious Povetkin will just go elsewhere.

Would you want to fight a guy who you believed was on PED's and possibly put you at an unfair advantage?

There's far to much of this 'He won't fight, he's a *****' nonsense flying around these boards.

 

Believing something = being sure of it

 

That was a real mind **** trying to decipher that.

 

I agree... fighters should want to take the tests to enhance their legacy by proving that they are clean fighters.

 

No it doesn't.

I believe my brother doesn't do drugs, can I be 100% sure? No.
I believe Man U will win the league next year, can I be 100% sure? No.
I believe Pac and Wlad don't do steroids, can I be certain? No.
Religious Nuts believe there's a god, can they be certain? No.

etc etc etc

 

You are using the word "believe" figuratively.
"I believe I lost my keyes" is something you say when you are not certain where your keyes are for example.

Povetkin's manager's words on the matter where exactly these: "I am absolutely certain that Wladimir is clean like mountain air".

Why ask for additional tests if you're sure he's clean?

 

Malignaggi once said he thought 7 out of 10 heavies are on roids.

 

He also said he would knock Khan ount

 

is there a source?

 

You have to be in the driver seat to ask random drug test........atsch

 

The fight is in Germany they already have random testing moron.

 

I am sure that Wladimir KlitschKO has nothing to hide. He follows the procedures closely and strictly. Why make some exceptions for this fight?

 

This bull by Atlas. Germany already has strict testing. The hell is he doing trying to do by wrecking this fight?

Is Povetkin STILL not ready for Wlad? Just man up and say it instead of making crap demands.
