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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The drug testing beef between Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez has been resolved, according to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum. Marquez (55-6-1, 40KOs) challenges Bradley (30-0, 12KOs) for his WBO welterweight title on October 12th at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.

In the last few weeks, the fighters have bickered over the drug testing protocol. Bradley wanted VADA [Voluntary Anti Drug Association] to handle the drug tests, while Marquez wanted USADA [United States Anti Doping Agency].

To settle the issue, Arum selected the Nevada State Athletic Commission to run the entire random drug testing protocol. He paid the NSAC additional funds to run a testing protocol similar to VADA/USADA. [Click Here To Read More]

So why is VADA in bradleys contract and why is Juan acting funny..

This shyt wont fly with Bradley......................................



Bradley has the balls to tell Arum no, he's done it before

[T18Z]

How is it resolved when Marquez hasn't even started testing and they are not using Vada but Bradley is alone?

**** Marquez and **** Arum at the moment, I hate Bradley for the whole robbery thing but I hope he beats the piss out of Marquez.

If there's smoke, there's fire. If he looks dirty, he's dirty.

This is shady indeed. I bet Bradley comes out and says he didn't agree with what Arum just said.

[Hougigo]

Arum said that in the contract it says an independent agency will be used.
So he decides to create his own for the fight and pay for it.
Just post in the contract where it says this and shut everybody up

nah i don't trust it......VADA has done some good work so far in boxing and has proven to be reliable and trustworthy...what exactly are NSAC's procedures and what specifically do they test for, and how reliable and stringent is the testing, etc?
