[Video] Marquez responds to Bradley, on his threat to pull out over drug testing

[BoxingGenius27]

That's not what I took from what i read..It seem like Marquez was saying Nevada testing is the same as VADA and USADA..Which tbh is neither here or there..If Bradley contract says both fighters are to be tested by VADA and USADA that is really all there is to it..

Jorge: "At any point did you refuse to undergo anti doping?"

Marquez "At no point at all, in the face off we accepted. Wherever, whenever, I'm open for either VADA or USADA to come test me. I've been a pro for 20 years and I've never turned up positive for anything"

@ Rome, I think you're reading too much into it.

Marquez is willing to do any and all tests. Now, we just have to start testing then start fighting.

The delays, and the vagueness is su****ious. The testing should already have been started, and every day that ticks by the less effective any testing will do. Anyone can be willing for testing, even if they are juiced to the gills, and only need to cause enough delays with the testing to have their body flushed out of anything detectable. The PED's still did their work.

Come on Dean. You use to think those asking for tests were applying roadblocks.

Now you have someone willing to take any/all tests and he looks su****ious?

All VADA/USADA has to do is show up and Marquez will be tested. People should take up their concern with VADA or USADA, not Marquez. It sounds like he approves testing, is waiting to be tested and will be ready to fight come October 12th

I hope your right, let's not forget tho..Marquez ask for a re hydration clause in order for the testing to happen..If he agrees to testing (by Vada and usada)I agree let's get testing and get ready for a fight..

Marquez is probably on TRT which is legal in Nevada, he reminds me of Vitor Belfort who is taking TRT and had a similar physique transformation as Marquez.

Yes but Bob has dealt with this before. This all should have been taken care of ages ago. Why does the NSAC suddenly have to be involved with "Extended" testing? Earlier in the fight agreement, it was agreed upon by everyone that Vada and USADA would do the testing. Then some time after, bob comes out and says he recommends NSAC to oversee all of it. Since then it has been at a stand still because the NSAC is simply not equipped to deal with it. So I am wondering who requested this change in effect.

Either Bob dropped the ball or someone else is causing this delay on purpose, and we may not see the fight because of it.

Why can't VADA and NSAC both do it? Marquez says all can do it at the same time, he really doesn't care.

Bob requested the NSAC implementation as you just said yourself.

I don't see why Marquez is being blamed here. To me, Marquez is getting too much flak for KO'ing Pac in the last fight in which is trickling over to Bradley-Marquez threads.

Marquez just wants to get tested and fight. I don't see what the problem is here.

[BoxingGenius27]

I feel like if VADA/USADA comes by and Marquez declines testing, THEN I'll be like fcuk that.

We have a Marquez who asks for NO cutoff dates whatsoever.

I say we sit back and let VADA do their job. If the commission wants to join and do their fake little tests, they're more than welcome according to Marquez.

This is all minor stuff. Let's get ready to enjoy the fight in October

That is exactly what I am saying, they both should do it because they both were agreed upon. But Bob passing the responsibility on to NSAC of arrangement and oversight is only going to cause a delay in the testing, which we are already seeing. top Rank should have contacted the the Anti-Doping people directly and arranged it, but they didn't.

[hectari]

But how can NSAC do random blood and urine testing when both fighters are training out of state? isn't that beyond their jurisdiction? isn't the NSAC only permitted to do state testing only? Wouldn't CSAC have to handle Bradley's random testing and Mexico City will handle JMM's?

Let's say all of this is true. How is any of it Marquez's fault?

He just wants to get tested and fight
