Klitschko junior refuses random drug testing

[Majesty]

all this testing request cr@p is for the birds. until the time ALL sanctioning bodies demand some sort of universal approach to testing, it will only serve to inevitably delay or kill potential fights that should happen.

in this case povetkin and atlas know he has no chance against wladimer. none what so ever. not now, and not in five months or five years. he has not displayed the skill set necessary to defeat wlad. Maybe he does have it.....but I doubt it. I think Adamek would beat the snot out of povetkin.

If its such an easy fight then why doesn't Wladimer accept the drug testing and beat him in the ring?

I 100% agree. Why does it seem like some fighters either take offence at the idea of drug tests or make a big deal about it?

There are many lines of work in which the occasional drug test is mandatory. These fighters should stop acting like a request for tests is a slap in the face, and they need to stop letting pride (or whatever) get in the way. They should know that once they take the tests and come out clean, that's an added plus for their reputation.

You people act like they don't already do drug testing....they do always AND Wladimir has never tested positive.

Povetkin (the challenger) whom has kept stalling at fighting Wlad is now trying to dictate the terms of the fight.

After seeing Povetkin fight Chambers I know and am 100% certain that Povetkin has nothing for Wladimir, he doesn't punch terribly hard, his chin doesn't seem all that sturdy, and he's not big either.

Cool Lyle. Sure, it is possible that Povetkin is stalling, but there is no reason in the world THIS tactic of asking for drug testing should be effective. Too easy to get around. Just say "sure, lets do it" and it's a done deal.

Funny Lyle but I can't remember ever seeing you defend Pacquio over the same thing...

Right and one more thing: did Povetkin ask his other recent opponents to submit to drug testing?

So you rather have great matches with the risk of one of them or both cheating?

You rather have the line at the airport move faster with less strict checks with the risk of having someone smuggle drugs, a bomb, etc.?

Because there are so many similarities between athletes potentially using drugs and airport security measures, right?

Nope, but because lowering security standards raises the possibility of crime. Lower the standards of drug testings and same thing happens. You'll have bunch of boxers out there cheating as long as their opponents are paid a fat check for agreeing not to get tested.

Simple math. Make laws more strict in the airport and it will deter someone to commit a crime, therefore, lowering the possibility of a crime. Make drug tests in boxing more strict, same thing.
