Comments Thread For: Ward Reacts to Rodriguez Public Request for VADA Tests

[Foreign Soil]

OK, OK... I said I didn't notice... It's good to find out that FMJr, Donaire, Bradley are beginning to promote a high standard as regarding Olympic drug testing...

USADA isn't Olympic style testing. Their window for testing is much too short and can easily be used as a tool just to appear clean when you take PEDs in the off season.

Ward has said he has no problem taking the test, he just never has. I've always suspected Ward because i know what telltale signs to look for in a steroid user...i think i'll make a thread about this for educational purposes, but i kinda don't want to bc it will throw one of my favorite fighters under the bus...he has those signs. I'll have to think about this, give me some time will ya!

What do you see? Or, generally speaking, what do you have to look for?

As long as he is willing to take the test then I don't mind, what I don't like is for someone to bring it up at a presser when him or his team could have asked at the negotiation table.

Injury prone, more specifically joint injuries. It's not a smoking gun, but steroid users do have a higher propensity for these injuries.

Rodriguez is a coward but Floyd isn't?

You're right. Manny is finally testing 4 years after it was brought to him.

I only wonder if you'll be as accepting and understanding if Ward decides to finally test 4 years from now.

I'll let you spin.

riiiight but he's BEEN talked about this for years now...so why no test? I'll let you spin. unbiased my ass, what a loser.

in due time my friend, i will make a thread on it. I will present it accordingly and likely take a beating because of the fighters i throw under the bus. The timing has to be right.

I don't believe he is, I don't think he's that sort of person but I don't know him personally and no one is above su****ion. He should take VADA testing if it's free of charge.

Why is it these guys wait until their biggest fight to ask for test/get tested?

Rodriguez didnt wanna "prove he's clean" before this fight?

For Rodriguez it's all about generating controversy to enhance his biggest paycheck to date, while at the same time creating an excuse for having his ass handed to him.

If Andre wants to fight Rodriguez twice, he should refuse this time and accept the second; they'll both be bigger that way.

Additionally, they could get the press to play up the whole "evil Christian hypocrite" angle(they're good for that) and then Ward becomes earlier Floyd where everybody makes him rich by paying to see him get beat up (which never ends up happening ).
