Former US President Donald Trump confirmed that he will request a drug test before the debates with his successor and rival Joe Biden, as he fears, according to him, that Biden may be injected with performance-enhancing drugs before the debates. The 77-year-old Trump, who often mocks the mental and physical abilities of the 81-year-old Biden, indicated that he "does not want to repeat what happened in Biden's speech before Congress, where Biden was inflated with drugs like a balloon and deflated after the speech." Two televised debates between the presidential candidates in the United States are scheduled for June and September. The debates are expected to be organized under Biden's conditions, who has demanded that microphones be automatically turned off after the allotted speaking time, in the absence of the audience and independent candidates.
