    Are you really trying to attack USADA? Because that can easily be done for VADA as well. VADA is the creation of Victor Conte. He has specifically said this in the past, but the Conte puppet writers like Hauser, have failed to see this.

    For instance, Conte just revealed a day ago to Alex Ariza, how and why Brandon Rios got caught with a positive. Conte specifically said that VADA doesn't test for stimulants before a fight. But on fight / performance day, they test for stimulants.




    This is knowledge that has been previously unknown to the public before Conte opened his mouth. And this is detailed knowledge that only someone with major power at VADA could know.
    Responding to an accusation on one organization with an accusation on another organization doesn't acquit the former, but simply points out that the latter is no different from it.

    With that said, I believe that Conte did claim to have played some role in VADA's founding. Whether this is true, to what extent, and what role this plays currently in VADA's business, is unknown.

    Conte could very well have exaggerated his history with VADA for self-promotion, no?

    Was it not made clear (I don't remember when) that Conte is NO LONGER part of VADA?

    Regarding Conte's knowledge of VADA's testing protocols, i.e., testing for stimulants around fight time, and not earlier: Do you know if only VADA does this, or if this is standard practice for people who follow WADA/USADA standards? This could very well be common practice, and therefore common knowledge, for people in the industry, which Conte certainly was.

    Even if we were to assume that Conte is familiar with protocols that may be unique to VADA, well...so what?

    Are you claiming that Margaret Goodman, VADA's president, former Nevada ringside physician and Ring magazine columnist, is tainted by her association--the extent of which is unknown--with Conte? Are you questioning her credibility?
