Between May/Pac, Floyd was under not such testing restrictions and had never mentioned random OSDTs up until Pac was mentioned as a possible opponent and then he went on to say he feared for his own health and safety when fighting Pac...Donaire has never spoken in that way about Rigo and was more than happy to go ahead with the fight.
I do hope this is just a blip in the road and the fight goes ahead.

I hope that Donaire would fight him still, as long as Rigo passes also the standard blood testing mandated by the state prior and post fight. After all, Donaire said once, he will subject himself to random blood testing and will not force his opponent to do the same.

Donaire said he agreed with Arum's assessment even as he moves forward with random testing, and he's quite confident in his ability even if an opponent were to cheat.
"I am always willing to fight the guy," Donaire said. "I can say, 'Even though you're on [a PED], I can still beat you.' "
Although Donaire is being randomly tested, he didn't insist that Mathebula be tested as a requirement of making the fight.
" He is welcome to do it, but I don't force anyone to do it," Donaire said.

“Rigo's team verbally agreed to VADA testing both online and in negotiations."
First off, agreeing to something online means absolutely nothing because it is not a legally binding contract. This is a duck excuse.
As for in negotiations, you have to prove it was verbally said and agreed to. Unless Nonito was wearing a wire or someone was recording the whole thing, there is no legal proof or any legal bindings that would require Rigo to take any extra tests. So if Nonito doesn't have any proof of a verbal agreement, this is a duck excuse as well.

but it seems like donaire is quick to find another opponent..wtf.
