Arum Proposal Of neutrality with a Certified testing body is Legit

[tangalog2200]

None...There's also no guarantee that anybody would not use prior to the cut off date...

However, if they didn't know about the cutoff before hand. You even saying it's probable that they didn't know...Wouldn't the danger still be there that they still could have shown up at anytime to test? Which would help prevent them from not doping. Since they wouldn't have know when exactly the cutoff was...

very valid points up there about random testing.........

the only real issue now is the "who" will conduct the test....

taking away the personalities (arum, pac, pbf, usada,psc etc) to discuss this so as to focus on some salient points:

one..this is all part of a negotiation where one fighter (A) demands for additional testing outside of the regular procedures....whereby the other fighter (B) said no first....

two..we now have fighter B agreeing to the additional test but is requesting an agency other than the one fighter A wishes to use....

so what is there to it now?

1. both camps may come up with a mutually agreed test agency and the mechanics of the testing procedures...and all other things being up to par then the fight is sealed..

2. both camps still agreeing to disagree and we're back to 0 - no fight, still.

i read some posts that propose using two testing agencies - like a back-up or a check and balance thing....

possible, yes...........

just hoping if such came about, both test agencies will come up with the same test readings....otherwise, we will have a ticklish situation like a gordian knot.....

USADA is really the best qualified to do drug testing in the United States. Arum has not given convincing evidence as to why an inferior testing body should replace them.

As you posted, USADA is an extention of WADA on U.S. soil, so why not give the USADA facility to a foreign counterpart that are also under the WADA administration, coz i think when Bob said USADA i think he really meant only the doctors from USADA not the entire organization...

Because USADA is good enough to test both fighters.
