Comments Thread For: Arum: Bradley-Marquez Drug Testing Beef Resolved

[HeroBando]

Not only Rigo Donaire but Pacquiao Rios will use VADA which has been confirmed by VADA they already received payment for testing.

However JMM said no VADA, he'll do USADA, and Bradley said no USADA, VADA only. So either they go with 2 agencies, which is ******ED and would be laughed at in normal sports (very expensive also) or they go with something like this.

marquez can't even do USADA because he'd have to train in the US to get tested by them and we all know he trains exclusively in mexico....and seems like marquez is scared to be tested by VADA even though they're the best option...

VADA is not only cheaper, but they can test anywhere..they also are very stringent when it comes to testing for things like synthetic testosterone (more so than USADA) so maybe that's what marquez is worried about...

You don't have to convince me, but if he's taken a hard line on this, USADA only, then what next? IMO testing in Mexico wouldn't be a impossible for USADA, though I could be wrong. So now you test with 2 agencies, which I'm not clear JMM is onboard with, and is just dumb in normal world.

and marquez was never really serious about usada..........it was a way to make things difficult because he doesn't want to be tested at all.

arum & others have said that usada will actually test marquez in mexico (a deal can be worked out) but marquez dropped usada........he went from "i will do any blood test with ANYONE" to "i only want usada" to ignoring both usada and vada........now he doesn't want ether. you can't force someone to do something that they don't want to do...........

Shady shady stuff. Why is it so difficult for 2 guys to simply get tested? In just about every fight that possible has testing, there's always a problem or a run around

Arum just doesn't want any fights falling through because of any PED business. All promoters feel the same way. So he's got 2 options: get Bradley onboard with USADA and put a no disclosure clause in the contract. Or have the commission deal with it, it's also in their best interest nothing pops up. This second option is cheaper and less dirt on his hands.

bradley is cool with ether one...........who is creating this "bradley doesn't want usada" bradley was cool with ether one. he doesn't care.........as long as both or ether of the 2 are involved.

it's totally on marquez side.............this entire thing has looked horrible on marquez.

But remember Arum had no problems with VADA testing for Rigo vs Donaire, and Pacquiao vs Rios, so it's more than Arum simply not wanting his fights falling through. He's protecting JMM because JMM doesn't want to do it, so it appears.

& thats exactly whats happening..............people are thinking too much of arum "he set up the entire thing, it's arum!!" no, arum is only protecting Jmm because he doesn't want to take the test.
