By Jake Donovan - From his third pro fight to present day, the scouting report has read that Nonito Donaire has passed every test put in front of him.
These days, passing tests inside the ring is no longer enough for the current 122 lb. titlist. The goal is no longer to prove that he’s pound-for-pound the best fighter in the sport, but sample-for-sample its cleanest as well.

The visits won’t come just during training camp, or directly before and after a prize fight. For as long as he chooses to box professionally, Donaire is on standby to provide blood and urine samples whenever the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) requires.
“VADA will be doing a 24/7/365 random test,” Donaire states of the testing he’s willing to undergo, the only stateside-based fighter in the sport to subject himself to such stringent demands. “Basically it can be any moment at any time they can be knocking at my door.
