From Nonito Donaire's Facebook:
NEWS BREAK: I want you guys to hear it from me first. I am NOT going to NYC for the presser this Thursday bc Rigo is backing off his agreement to VADA drug testing. Rigo's team verbally agreed to VADA testing both online and in negotiations. But now that the contract to start testing is infront of them, they are finding every excuse not to sign and delay the start of the testing. I have NOT signed my fight contract yet to fight him so I have no obligation to fight ONLY HIM. It disappoints me that top fighters these days run from everything that will hold professional boxing integrity to its highest standard. I will be looking into other opponents with my manager, Cameron Dunkin immediately.
fight was too good to be true for TR card I know Cameron and Donaire were pushing for Darchinyan from the get go but I will wait to hear more on this before I comment I don't believe Rigo is refusing the testing
Or it could be Nonito is a genius putting news out there the same day as Mayweather when everybody is tuned into boxing. At the end of the day what Nonito did caused everybody to talk about it and its going to make the fight even more publicized. Here is Nonitos twitter, you dont need account to see his tweets.

Did you miss the ESPN report where Arum said everythings all good, Rigondeaux just wanted it in spanish because he doesn't understand English???
Nonito answered that on his FB.
oh i dont use facebook but from that quote he posted it still seems like a cop out if he said he would fight a fighter even if they didnt agree to testing at first i think he should still take the fight even though Rigo is flip flopping and call him out on not being a man of his word and beat him to prove his point he is as great a fighter as he says. i like Donaire a lot but this just seems like a true cop out
First Lamont Peterson, then Berto, then Morales and now Rigo? And way before that - Vitai Klitschko.. Cheats need to be tested or GTFO the sport.. seems like 90% of people are up to something underhand these days
I thought Donaire once said he would fight an opponent whether they agreed to testing or not to prove how great he is i remember HBO made such a big deal about him saying that so wtf is this?
this is all on rigo. after months of calling out donaire, he all of a sudden decides not to proceed with drug testing., i thought used to fight in the olympics where they had strict drug testing regulations. why now? he's a big chicken , that's why
Would HBO even show Donaire-Vic 2, I guess Arum could run his own PPV but Donaire is going to have certain pay demands so I don't know how viable that sort of show really is.
HBO will want to make some splashes considering recent events, I can't see them just happily accepting Donaire-Vic 2 when there are several more appealing fights out there for him.

Then why is Nonito saying that Rigo won't test? There has to be more to the story.
Why was Donaire saying there was no contract for the Mares fight on the same night Arum AND Dunkin confirmed there actually was one? Answer me that question and you will have your answer. Its clear as crystal.
On the BScene article there's sources posted up that Rigo and his team did agree to testing but didn't have the VADA contracts.

It's just a question that naturally popped up.
Cuba had help from the Soviet Union when setting up their sports programs and we all know how big steroids were in the Communist Bloc.
That doesn't prove or disprove anything. It is just food for thought.
But you tell me, why won't Rigondeaux take the tests?
Keep up buddy and stop trying to taint my country's rep. Rigo agreed to testing long ago and his team said they haven't received any VADA contracts. Zzz
Are you being blinded by Donaire tactics? Were you one of the blind sheeps who believed he didnt receive a contract from GBP?

It's ridiculous.
I'd rather him be fully involved with VADA as he would at least know ways to find cheats, but he certainly should not have input into testing and then be allowed to work with fighters.
I'm all for the extra testing, but Conte fighters are way ahead of the game.
I just posted a thread inspired by this conversation we're having here. I pulled a LarryX. :rofl:

Its about time tbh
I mean the guy really has never came across like he wants the fight at all.
It always makes suspicious when asked if a fighter would like to fight someone and they start stuttering and change the subject then start making crazy demands and such.
Like I posted in the other thread, this fight was 50/50 for me but those odds changed for me. Donaire doesn't sound too confident. Since the beginning he's been sounding too quick to avoid this fight.
