Comments Thread For: Testing Still Being Negotiated for Pacquiao-Bradley

[DoktorSleepless]

I hope Bradley sticks to his guns and gets an independent agency like VADA or USADA to oversee and handle the testing. But he doesn't have much leverage, if Pac and Bob don't want it then it's not happening.

I doubt Pac and Bob are against VADA. I mean, Pac was on VADA for Rios and Bob has used it several times. Chances are it's just the commission wanting to be in complete control. I remember for the Hendricks/St-Pierre testing situation, Neveda ended up saying it wouldn't accept VADA results and if they wanted random tested, they had to use Nevada's random testing protocol.

So it looks Pacquiao will in fact let the commission do their job.

tim wants vada n bob says in nevada they prefer commision testing, here we go again #boxing

Presumably, they're talking about the random NSAC testing they used for Bradley-JMM.

Thats a shame. And here were all the manny fans defending him

this makes no sense. other than to bring attention to the fight why would Manny not go with VADA testing? HBO and Team Manny have made a huge deal about VADA.

Why is Manny and his team always invlovled in things like this that make him look guilty or su****ious when it isn't necessary?

It's not Manny Pacquaio that is making the decision. It is Bob Arum.

Arum is not really a fan of VADA or USADA. He prefers NSAC when it comes to drug testing. He previously used NSAC's new random drug testing program for Bradley vs. Marquez. That went well, so I am not surprised Arum is interested in doing it again.

And to be honest, NSAC's random drug testing program is pretty good. So I don't see the problem. There is less conflict of interest too, and NSAC needs to do more random drug testing for fights anyway.

The only problem I see is that NSAC doesn't have the best reputation, and because of that some can make conspiracy theories that they are corrupt and were secretly paid-off to turn positive results into negative results.

Bob Arum is NOT really a fan of VADA. He only used them because the fight was being held in China. NSAC has no authority over there, they are only a state authority. When it came to Bradley vs. Marquez, Arum made them use NSAC's random drug testing program.

Yeah, thats why I posted manny and his team. It just seems silly. Frankly, i assumed they would have VADA testing and keep it moving.

My guess is ARum has to pay for VADA while the Commission covers the other testing.

Just seems ******.

Floydiots never fail to infest ped threads. It's mind-boggling when their hero is tested positive three times. It's like a bald guy selling hair growth products. Will you clowns stop this crap? It's over. Your hero is dirty. He should be VADA tested. Hehe...

"The fighters also agreed to random drug testing to be executed by the Voluntary Anti-doping Association."

I'm I missing something?

Upset because now you must be against pac with this type of testing? Or have you suddenly changed your tune

Nah. For Marquez vs. Bradley, Arum paid NSAC to do the random drug testing. He had to pay for it. So for Pacquaio vs. Bradley 2, it would be the same thing.

The only PED threads they failed to infest were when Mickey Bey and JLeon Love of Mayweather Promotions tested positive. In fact, those threads were almost dead

I wonder why? More importantly, how many more cheats are there from that stable?
