Buentello confirmed Aleks had hepatitis

[Vector_X]

I could see it as a possibility and it would certainly explain why the fight was cancelled.

WTF is Paul going around revealing shit like that? That's seriously private information and is totally not him to talk about. "No comment," would have been the better response, Paul.

It's up to Aleks IF he wants this to become public.

Hep C can also be cured, but it takes 3 years of oral meds or 1 year of injections. As long as the athletic commissions will allow clearing of the viral particles as a sign of disease cure, he should be able to fight again.

Rumor is that it's Hepatitis B.

if someone asked paul that means its gonna be public either way
the rumor was out there

If this rumor is true, there has been a HUGE VIOLATION of Aleksander's privacy right over his medical records.

Again, if the leak is true, there would be a basis for firings within the CSAC process and a lawsuit from Aleksander against the CSAC.

You are wrong.

A is typically spread through contaminated food but can be transferred by sex. Fecal-oral route.

B is typically spread through sex or passed on to children. I believe it's also fecal-oral route.

C is typically spread through needles. Nurses and IV drug users are at risk for Hep C. Mostly blood-blood. Very rare to spread through sex. A huge study was done in Russia of people married to people who were positive for Hep C. As long as they didn't share razors and toothe brushes, they didn't infect their partners.

btw. Fecal oral root is if you get another person's feces into your mouth. Very gross, but that's why you should wash your hands when you go to the bathroom

kinda weird but could be a reason why fedor does not train with aleks anymore.

aleks moved to st petersburg and fedor still lives in the country side.

i hope this is not true.

And it's important in this case to note that all forms of hepatitis can be spread through blood-to-blood contact. And hepatitis B is very dangerous...about a million deaths per year worldwide from chronic hep B. I really hope this isn't true.
