Gennady and VADA 365 enrollment and CBP cleared up | BoxingScene Community

Back to Community

Gennady and VADA 365 enrollment and CBP cleared up

There is no difference. The WBC programme is based on the principle that all boxers must enrol for VADA 24/7 365 testing. Gennady Golovkin is enrolled.
— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) May 17, 2018

Not exactly sure what that comment was about. He should be enrolled for the 365 regardless and I believe he is. As for your question about Donaire, I believe he gets more credit as he signed up to do it before the WBC even made a big deal about it. He was the first big name IIRC.
— Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) May 17, 2018

But it doesn’t guarantee you will be tested. It just allows for VADA to randomly select you if they choose to. It enters a fighter in a random pool.
— Afoke Tialobi (@Fokeman) May 17, 2018

Probably, you didn't understand him. Registering with VADA yourself is a more stringent. You are tested randomly and more frequently throughout.
— Afoke Tialobi (@Fokeman) May 17, 2018

WBC cbp is not 24/7 365 testing. It just means you are signing up to be in the random pool of fighters that can be tested at any time VADA chooses. You may not evem be tested in a month. Enrolling in VADA by yourself is more stringent than WBC cbp

Hes a Golden Boy stooge Oh, is he? I wasn't privy of that. I thought we all were just looking for some objective, fair clarification.

It's random testing 365 days a year and if you are doing it you are risking everything to cheat. Bottom line I think this might have cleared up a bit of confusion.

Looks like these answers pretty much clear it up. Hes a Golden Boy stooge

GGG is not signed up for random testing 365. VADA does the testing and they say he was only signed up for testing for his may 5 fight. Loeffler himself confirmed he needs to enroll in year round testing. WBC getting exposed with their CBP these fighters aren't truly tested all year looks like they aren't even tested until they have a fight scheduled. But in between fights a lot of these fighters aren't enrolled with VADA testing. GGG hasn't been enrolled or tested since his last fight ended. Looks like these answers pretty much clear it up.

Breadman went into it in one of his mailbags, the 365 thing is pretty much a farce, its so underfunded by the WBC, that it doesn't mean a damn thing. There was a Ring article about it aswell, WBC pocketing the fines they handed out instead of putting it back into the programme.
