You see, if you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't post that crap as if it's some sort of "news." Did you notice the part where I bolded? Do you know why they use the word "Generally"? For the last time...IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, GET LOST.
organizing committee for the olympic games:
"When the IOC awards the Olympic Games to a city, an organizing committee for the Olympic Games (OCOG) replaces the successful bid committee, often including many of that committee's members. Although the IOC [international olympic committee] retains ultimate authority over all aspects of an Olympiad, the local OCOG has full responsibility for the festival, including finance, facilities, staffing, and accommodations. [therefore the local OCOG doesn't equal USADA]" (source: http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/...-Olympic-Games)Last edited by Bermuda; 07-08-2011, 01:13 PM.

1. USADA is the U.S. arm of WADA.
2. Therefore, any testing taking place in the U.S.A. will be done by USADA.
3. So when you say have WADA do it...you aren't saying anything different than points 1 & 2.
I hope you find what you're looking for

As long as the tests are performed by TRADA (Top Rank Anti Doping Agency).
Pacquiao 'agrees to Mayweather's demands'

Manny Pacquiao
The much-anticipated super-fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jnr has taken a significant step closer after Pacquiao's promoter, Bob Arum, said his charge is willing to agree to random drug testing - but not by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA).
Negotiations have previously collapsed over the timing of sampling, with Pacquiao refusing to accept Mayweather's demands of Olympic-style probes right up until fight night.
But while Arum's revelation does fuel hopes of a bout materialising, the situation is clouded by Pacquiao's decision to file a defamation lawsuit against Mayweather, which has done nothing to quell the animosity between the camps.
"We have agreed in the Pacquiao camp to unlimited random testing done by a responsible, neutral organization," Arum told Yahoo. "We don't believe USADA is a neutral organization.
"I don't think anybody's test is as vigorous as the test administered by the Olympic Organization. And we can arrange for the Olympic Organization to handle the test under the supervision of the Athletic commission respective of the state where the fight is going to be held.
"We're not going to make this into a cowboy situation. We have an organization that has no authority [USADA] and even does it [blood testing] without reporting to an organization that is responsible for the conduct of the fight.
"We are focusing on Pacquiao v Marquez fight [on November 12]. And if Pacquiao beats Marquez again and then if Mayweather says he's agreeable to us, then we can have the Mayweather vs Pacquiao fight next year."

and then claim that the USA isn't neutral
USADA is the U.S. branch of WADA - ok fine
Then Bob suggested a much neutral organization, the WADA, they handled the just concluded Beijing Olympics - so what's wrong with that ??!!!
