USADA's record in boxing is not good, the Morales incident is a real black mark against them.
VADA vs USADA

both orgs have much better testing than boxing commissions etc. but at the end of the day...neither of them have any jurisdiction to stop a fight going ahead due to a doping infraction.
boxing isnt under the wada code, therefore usada are basically at the mercy of state commissions presiding over the promotion. refer: morales in NY. vada have same probs.Comment

USADA seems like the go to place for drug cheats.
There's a recent article on FloydHype about how Paulie requested VADA testing with Broner, considering the jump in weight Broner is taking to make the fight. Apparently Broner and his handlers told him "if you want VADA, fight is off." They were literally getting ready to cancel a fight because the agency of THEIR choice wasn't going to be used.
Almost sounds like they have something to hide. And hidden it will remain, just like they're known to do.

Im not sure why anyone would choose USADA. They are 5X more expensive, have black marks against them. Morales tested positive, so they tested like 73 samples from him and they still let him fight and then 4 months after said he cheatedComment

That is not all they do, they also declare if he cheated of not. He tested positive and it was pretty clear he cheated (morales) since he tested positive in 2 different samples a week apart. So instead of branding him a cheater and telling the commission to not allow the fight to go on, they "informed them that there might be a violation". Then 5 months later they concluded he cheatedComment

This. How do you analyze Quillin/Wright and Morales and say you prefer USADA over VADA? **** makes no sense. A bit too shady, I say.Comment
