Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Addresses Drug Testing Controversy

[HeroBando]

it's only a controversy if you don't like Ward.

Edwin did it as a publicity stunt. I trust Ward will do USADA next time, no big deal (I wouldn't trust VADA either; not with the Conte association. Imagine if WADA was like to Heredia; you Conte fanboys would go nuts).

Why would you trust the scandal ridden USADA? So far they haven't prevented a single cheat from entering the ring.

Didn't usada let Erik morales retake the tests 2-3 times until he passed it after Initially coming up dirty?

They also destroyed the Quillin-Wright tests.

I eat a lot of Mexican meat. That's Clenbusterol heaven right there. They'll look the other way.

Yes, but what's worse is that the commission was told the fight should proceed as his B sample would not be in till after the fight. Meanwhile they already had 4 dirty samples from Morales.

Indeed. They also did 0 testing for Broner DeMarco despite it being in the contract. Also no testing for Paulie Broner till Paulie blew the whistle in public

They didn't look the other way, they relayed false info to the commission.

But hey, it depends on your POV. If you got something to worry about, it's worth paying 5x extra for USADA since they're willing to sign the no disclosure clause. So in that sense USADA is better

conte was just a resource person for VADA, he's not involved in the organization...don't know why there should be a conflict of interest.

there was already a fighter connected to conte before (was it berto or peterson?) who got caught by VADA so the notion that conte can influence VADA testing is ridiculous. besides, ward used to trust conte with his conditioning before so i don't know why he's bringing that up.

Good point, Berto was with Conte when he was busted and prevented from competing. If this was USADA they either destroy the samples, or tell the commission the B sample would come in too late to do anything about it

[BuckToothed]

Doesn't Memo snitches, I mean consults, for USADA? How is that any different from Conte's involvement with VADA?
