Originally posted by radioraheem View PostAre you kiddin me? The Commission was invited during the initial Pacquaio vs. Mayweather saga. The Commission also invited Travis Tygart, head of USADA, to speak in front of them and answer questions. The Commission decided though that USADA testing was unnecessary! Look it up, if you really think this is B.S. VADA also would LOVE to work in conjunction with the Commission, but that is not possible because of the Commission itself.
Your alternative is NOT an alternative since the Commission is uninterested in doing all of that. Once they are uninterested in doing all of that, the only alternative left is for the fighters and/or promoters to handle it themselves.
no they were not invited. travis tygart just came out in the media and started criticizing the commission's drug testing which he has point to but he was only doing it because he was already talking to gbp.
and you're right, they invited tygart for a meeting. why do you think would they invite him if the don't want to get involve? they do want to get involve but they didn't like the way tygart was conducting himself like an arrogant businessman. tygart was all about business and charges so much. that's why dr margaret goodman, who was present during the meeting, formed vada as a cheaper alternative.

Originally posted by radioraheem View PostAnd yet, the Commission is also uninterested in working with VADA as well. If the Commission wanted to work with VADA or USADA, they would do so. They are fully aware about them. They just are not interested! Why are you defending their obvious lack of interest in random drug testing?
and i'm not defending anybody. i have no agenda here...i'm just seeing things as it is. my only point here is that promoters and fighters should not have the ability to self-regulate. if you can't grasp that then i don't what else to say.

GBP cancelled the Peterson-Khan fight because NSAC couldn't hold hearing on Peterson's drug results until the week of the fight. There was no guarantee NSAC would grant Peterson a license, GBP felt it was too close to the fight date to take that risk. They deep sixed their own promotion.
NSAC wasn't kept in the loop by VADA. They didn't know of any of the results until early in the week before the fight was to happen.
Originally posted by brick wall View Posthow did the berto and peterson fights get cancelled? wasn't it because nsac recognized the findings of vada? the license for those fights was cancelled by nsac because of the vada findings...that's what i thought happened. so how come you're saying they're not interested in working with outside agencies?

Originally posted by LarryX.. View Postno just pointing at you man..but the people who go against USADA are the usual suspects..in all honest i dont see a reason to hate either..they both are a step in the right direction and i see no reason to put one over the other
Only seen one person mention that situation though
VADA also had its share of controversy with the Peterson situation
Wanted to know NSBs thoughts nothing more nothing less
