The problem came about with notifying testing results. With Peterson, VADA refused to let Golden Boy know a thing because supposedly they failed to sign something about that. Only Peterson knew about his failure for more than a month. When Golden Boy (Schaefer) found this out, he was pissed.
Despite this, Golden Boy used them again for Berto's fight. But the same problem came up again. VADA wasn't the first to let Golden Boy know about the failure. Instead, it was Al Haymon that first told Golden Boy about the positive. So basically, if Al Haymon didn't tell Golden Boy, they wouldn't have been able to play damage control and save money.
That's why the switch to USADA went down. Golden Boy originally preferred VADA because of cost, USADA is more expensive.
