星期一，英国中量级拳王桑德斯与强制性挑战者库尔西泽的新闻发布会上暗示说，戈洛夫金在过去的两场比赛中表现不佳是因为在兴奋剂方面进行了严格的测试。
桑德斯与库尔西泽七月八日在伦敦开战，预测戈洛夫金VS阿瓦雷兹比赛的时候发表了这一组煽动性的言论。
桑德斯说；“我认为这是一场势均力敌的对决，戈洛夫金会赢得比赛，但阿瓦雷兹也有很多技巧，这一切都取决于戈洛夫金是否已经老化，不是么？看看他最后的战斗，让我们面对现实吧，这已经不是两三年前我们见过的戈洛夫金，他的速度已经开始放缓。
之所以我会提出这个观点，是与他的五次药物测试有关，这就是我对美国发生的事情的看法。所以我认为戈洛夫金没能发挥出最好的能力，因为这是一个公平的竞争环境”。
35岁的戈洛夫金（37-0，33 KO），在拉斯维加斯对口自愿反兴奋剂协会（VADA）定期对训练营进行了测试，在面对雅各布斯的前几天戈洛夫金表示，VADA在训练营期间对他进行了五次随机药物测试，他欢迎进行这种严格的测试，以证明他是一名干净的战士。
之前的9月10日在伦敦O2竞技场，戈洛夫金第五回合KO布鲁克也进行了药物测试，导致连升两级的布鲁克右眼遭受了骨折。
桑德斯(24-0, 12 KOs)之前曾经得到一个机会面对戈洛夫金，6月10日在哈萨克斯坦进行统一战，双方一直在谈判。但最后戈洛夫金决定绕过桑德斯，因为与阿瓦雷兹之战利润更丰厚。
像英国所有的拳击手一样，桑德斯也受到英国反兴奋剂的全年随机测试。该机构要求拳击手每年365天告知个人行踪，以便随时进行测试。
Saunders: Aging Golovkin Has Slowed Down Due to "Drug Tests"
By Keith Idec
Billy Joe Saunders insinuated Monday that Gennady Golovkin hasn’t been as effective in his past two fights because he has been thoroughly tested for performance-enhancing drugs.
Saunders’ accusation was part of his response to a question about who would win the highly anticipated middleweight championship showdown between Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez on September 16. The unbeaten WBO middleweight champion made the inflammatory remarks during a press conference to promote his mandatory title defense against Georgia’s Avtandil Khurtsidze on July 8 at Copper Box Arena in London.
“I think that’s gonna be a close fight,” Saunders said of Alvarez-Golovkin. “I thought Golovkin [would win] comfortable at first, but Canelo’s got a few tricks. It all depends if Golovkin’s got a bit old, isn’t it? His last fight, let’s face it, he wasn’t the best Golovkin that we’ve seen two or three years ago. He’s slowed down a bit.
“But also, my opinion is that had something to do with having – my opinion on this – he had five drug tests. And that’s my opinion on the stuff that happens in America. So I don’t think he boxed to his best ability because it’s a fair playing field.”

The 35-year-old Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) was tested regularly by the Las Vegas-based Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) throughout training camp for his 12-round, unanimous-decision victory over Daniel Jacobs (32-2, 29 KOs) on March 18 at Madison Square Garden.
Golovkin dropped Jacobs during the fourth round of that fight, but Jacobs recovered to make their title fight very competitive and ended Golovkin’s 23-fight knockout streak. A few days before beating Jacobs, Golovkin said VADA randomly tested him five times during training camp for their fight and that he welcomes such stringent testing to prove that he’s a clean fighter.
In his previous appearance, for which VADA also tested him, Golovkin had difficulty dealing with Kell Brook at times before he stopped Brook in the fifth round September 10 at O2 Arena in London.
England’s Brook (36-1, 25 KOs), who moved up two weight classes to challenge Golovkin, suffered a fractured orbital bone around his right eye during their fight. That injury caused Brook’s trainer, Dominic Ingle, to stop their fight.
Saunders (24-0, 12 KOs) thought he would get an opportunity to upset Golovkin on June 10 in Golovkin’s native Kazakhstan. Their handlers had been negotiating, but Golovkin decided to bypass that middleweight title unification fight once negotiations intensified to make his lucrative, long-discussed fight against Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs).
Like all boxers from the United Kingdom, Saunders is subject to year-round random testing by UK Anti-Doping. That agency requires boxers to inform it of their whereabouts 365 days per year, so that testing can take place at any time. |
