Comments Thread For: Arum Explains Handling of Marquez-Bradley Drug Testing

[Fetta]

Well we all thought vada or usada ( can't remember which one) had been agreed upon so who knows what the contract language was, but it could have been vague enough to go this route. Idk why do all of this shady stuff in the first place? Marquez had already agreed publicly to vada or usada, however his actions are telling a different story. If there was a mistake why not rectify it and choose one of those organizations? I mean they had serious negotiations about usada and vada it was a sticking point. Why would Bradley sign something without that it in there if they spent all that time negotiating...

Shady indeed. Seems like someone didnt read their contract correctly and now VADA is a demand that wasnt in contract. And if it was then arum would be in big trouble but he knows it never was or he wouldn't be sayig this.

Maybe this opens the door for NSAC changing their standard testing to random type drug testing?

Sounds like the Commission will overseer it but the testing will be done in the end by labs controlled by VADA/USADA , it just sounds like a Arum sales pitch to me , Bob has to do it his way and spin it different from everybody else because of all the negative crap he was saying about this kinda testing way back .

not sure i fully understand your post, but bob suggested this same thing for pacquiao-mayweather

and mentioned it for pacquiao-marquez iv, but also said by the time he heard someone(roach) wanted testing, it was too late

Yeah in a perfect world nsac would collect the money from the promoters and then contract out either usada or vada (IMO a little more trusted), so the commission receives the results before the fighters and promoters. However bob obviously in this situation leaves the door wide open so it's most likely not going to be usada or vada.

They do random urine tests, only difference is they don't test the blood for prohibited substances.

TO the topic, as long as the lab is WADA certified it doesn't matter who takes the samples.

Don't you have there, in the U.S., some sort of federal authority to perform official drug test on athletes?
How do you proceed in case of athletes, swimmers, etc who go to the Olympic Games?

I don't know what's happening. Everyone wants VADA.
Trout wanted VADA, Paul Malignaggi, and now Bradley.
They want nothing to do with USADA. On the other hand,
Mayweather, Broner, Marquez are perfectly fine with USADA.

What's going on?
