    Podcast with Victor Conte (WADA testing and more)

    http://nhbnews.podomatic.com/entry/2...21_16_53-07_00

    Speaking about testing, Khan-Judah etc.

    He applaudes Floyd for creating discussion about better testing and he also says that WADA does indeed test athletes, they've done so for his athletes. USADA also says this in their own documents, in the "USADA Testing Handbook", for example: http://www.usantidoping.org/files/ac...e-handbook.pdf

    "In addition to USADA, U.S. athletes are subject to doping control by:

    * The ADO of the country or region in which you are living, training, or competing

    * The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
    ..."

    So I guess Gino Ros wasn't as well-informed as he thought he was. WADA doesn't do much testing/sample collecting, but they do indeed do some. And are allowed and capable of doing it.


    He also speaks about VADA and other ways of improving the testing. Let's hope that all this BS back and forth for the last couple of years will actually lead to an improvement of the testing in boxing.

    the WADA specifically stated that they do not carry out tests themselves. i mean u cant tell an organization what it does. or is that ur argument?

      Some spokesman for USADA said that WADA doesn't test either, yet USADA claims that WADA does indeed test in their official documents.

      I'd rather go by official document then some quotes by some represenative on Fighthype.
