In mid-May, Winky Wright was preparing to fight Peter Quillin in a June 2nd bout promoted by Golden Boy at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California.
âEverybody kept popping up positive for all this stuff,â Wright told Montoya. âBoxing isnât always a fair game. I figured I should get this [testing] too. So I called Golden Boy and said, âWhy we ainât doing it?â They was like âUh, etcetera, etcetera, this and this and that, and someone didnât want to pay.â I said âOkay; Iâm going to pay for it. I just want to play on the same field.ââ
Wright and Quillin entered into a May 21, 2012 contract with Golden Boy and USADA pursuant to which USADA was to provide drug testing services in conjunction with their fight.
âI didnât know the difference between [USADA and VADA].â Wright says. âI just told Golden Boy I wanted to be tested and they came back with USADA.â
On or about May 23rd, USADA collected blood and urine samples from Quillin. Wright gave samples on May 24th.
âThey came to my house at six in the morning,â Winky recalls. âThey took urine, blood, everything.â
Then, without warning, Wright was told that the testing was off.
âI think it was like two days later,â Winky told Gabriel Montoya. âGolden Boy called and told Damian [Ramirez, Wrightâs manager], and Damian told me. I donât understand it. All Iâm asking is, âHow do you take urine and take blood and then, all of sudden, you say you arenât going to test it?â Then they tried to make up an excuse and say they wanted to teach us. There ainât nothing to teach. They took blood. They told us we would take a test and either come up positive or negative. Thatâs it. All I want to know is, are we playing on the same field? So my lawyer called and asked for it to be tested and they told him they threw it out. They told my attorney they threw it out. Thatâs crazy. Why would they throw it out? They just finished [taking samples] and theyâre going to throw it out already? Does this sound crazy? We gave samples. Letâs test that and let me see the result. They threw it out. I just donât understand that.â
Quillin-Wright went ahead as planned with Quillin winning a unanimous 10-round decision. Quillin, like Andre Berto and Floyd Mayweather, is managed by Al Haymon.
The contract that Wright and Quillin entered into with Golden Boy and USADA specifically provided, âUSADA will be responsible for storing the samples after collection and transporting them safely and securely to a laboratory for analysisâŚUSADA will send all samples for analysis to a WADA [World Anti-Doping Agency] accredited laboratory under contract to USADAâŚUSADA shall maintain Sample Collection Documentation, including test results for testing conducted under this Master Agreement, for a period of six years.â
âThe destruction of samples isnât supposed to happen,â Ryan Connolly states. âIf that happened in an Olympic context, it would set off alarms in a lot of places. There would likely be a thorough investigation by the International Olympic Committee and WADA.â
Victor Conte adds, âThe trend in drug-testing now is to save samples longer than before, not pour them down the drain.â

Thanks for the vid. I'll check it out.
Thought it would be much more complicated than that
Thank you.
