Aleks Emelianenko Denies Hep B Rumor, Says He Was Just Late

From Fightline.com:

In the video 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 the 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.

It would be hard to imagine anyone really wanting to admit they have Hepatitis B so denying the reports could be expected. Sources close to the situation have said that Emelianenko tested positive for the disease. It's unclear what the real story is but I guess we'll find out down the road if he comes to America to fight again.
