Finally - Aleksander's version of what hapenned
Емельяненко: У меня нет проблем со здоровьем! : Чемпион мира по боевому самбо опроверг слухи о своих проблемах со здоровьем

In the interview with life.ru Aleks claims that he was simply late. He says there is absolutely nothing wrong with him physically.

He says that according to CSAC he was supposed to be tested on 13th. He only received a visa on 14th and came to US on 15th. He was hoping that they would be able to still work everything out - but apparently the CSAC is very strict on everything.

I still find it unlikely they would lie about a medical condition, either way if he was Hep positive the strain wasnt one that would have ended his career anyways.

Apparently Goodridge was scheduled to fight somewhere else in CA that same weekend. So he passed all his tests on time.

Good. Hopefully all these stupid rumours die out.

The interview is pretty cool. Aleks says he gave Donald Trump a painting as a present

This is pure speculation, and I am the only one to suggest this, but suppose you are T-Shirt Guy, and a day before Alex fights on TV you discover that Alex has a swastika tattoo, which he does. Do you let him in the ring? I say no, and there's no fucking way Alex ever fights in America as long as he has that tat. If he were really a Nazi he wouldn't have signed with a Jewish manager, Vadim Finkelstein, but that won't placate some people.

Given the conflicting stories it is perfectly reasonable to speculate what really happened.
