"But in a fight of this magnitude, I think it is our responsibility to subject ourselves to sportsmanship at the highest level. I have already agreed to the testing and it is a shame that he is not willing to do the same. It leaves me with great doubt as to the level of fairness I would be facing in the ring that night...

...ordeal as a glaring showcase of how molasses-like Brazilian justice operates - of how justice often denied because it's so inexcusably delayed. Moreover, in a nation where family is all important, people have been critical of the spectacle of people fighting so blatantly over a child. Brazilians cannot understand why David Goldman did not visit his son for several years. But they also have trouble sympathizing with a family that is putting a 9-year old through an emotional wringer...
