Comments Thread For: Arum: We Would Use WADA For Mayweather-Pacquiao

[richardt]

Lead - that is a reasonable response at 4:34 today. Is that true that Arum was against the lawsuit that the Collins family filed? Arum would have to be really heartless to do that.

it doesn't matter who does the testing , Pacquiao will get his a.s.s beat

Pacquiao was like 117 pounds gettin laid out with body blows, now hes 147 walking thru Cotto and Margarito like a damn cyborg. test that little ****er !

I don't see May and Pac being afraid of each other, just too many egos involved. There is too much at stake for them not to fight and both know that 10-20 years from now, the public would blame each for not fighting each other. But I am not 100% confident that they will get past BOTH Ortiz and Marquez. If they do, the fight is on.

wada is just 1 branch higher than usada. imo bub just wants to contract wada for the testing, but then he doesn't really care who performs it on the site. usada,psc ...
but the contract would have wada responsible for the results and not usada. i think that's what he wants in effect.

right on the button...............

i think so too......

i think bob just wished to place another set of eyes on the testing itself...

Ok, one more time. The USADA cannot do any testing outside of it's jurisdiction unless authorized by the IOC or the WADA. It has no jurisdiction in the Philippines where Pac does most of his training.

I thought WADA/USADA had no jurisdiction over a boxer period it was all up to the commission right? I would think that they can test any one at any time if they have that persons consent. Funny thing is weve been waiting for that person to consent to testing for years now and this is the answer we now recieve...

I personally see no reason that USADA couldnt test a fighter who chooses to fight in the US anywhere in the world. You say money is a problem? Who is paying WADA? Could they not also pay to get the testing done by USADA over there? Or would that just be a convenient way to get out of testing..?

Maybe we just chalk it up for what it is. Making excuses and putting up smokescreens. More BS from the Pac camp.

She said that perhaps Arum has a misperception of how WADA operates, explaining "does not do any actual testing, they do not have the infrastructure to do that. You take (world soccer body) FIFA, the Swimming Federation and others...they are all signatories to WADA. What WADA does is contract out (the testing) to recognized doping control agencies in the different countries."

I asked Skinner if hypothetically a third party doping control laboratory or organization might be agreed to, thus overcoming Team Pacquiao's objections to USADA, which Arum branded as "not neutral" in this matter.

"No other organization in the US does the type of gold standard testing that that we do. Personally, at least, I've never heard of any third party organization that performs the WADA approved standards to the same degree that we do," Skinner said.





Spread the word....

Kingfaze, I saw an average 160 pound fighter drop Hopkins twice but later Hopkins walked through a top 175 pounder. I saw Hearns stopped by a 147 pounder yet watched him go through 160-168-175 pound fighters. I saw a natural lightweight Duran stop 154 pound Moore and drop 168 pound Barkley. What Pac has done is not superhuman.

"The USADA is legally associated to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), through the WADA Anti-Doping Code, to which the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) is a signatory.

USADA, together with the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the National Football League (NFL), and Major League Baseball (MLB) has formed the Partnership for Clean Competition, Inc (PCC). The PCC is an anti-doping research funding collaborative created to make targeted grants in support of non-partisan and independent scientific research to be conducted at universities and other world-class research institutions. Information on the application process can be found at www.cleancompetition.org."


Really, i dont care who performs the tests, as long as we have a fight. But Team Pacquiao long list of lies and excuses is simply hilarious.

As long as you don't get a hernia from laughing........
