Comments Thread For: Robert Garcia Explains Why He Trusts USADA, Not VADA

[radioraheem]

Jack3D has DMAA in it. It's just that stimulants aren't tested pre-fight during training because they don't matter. They tested for stimulants post-fight and that's what they got busted for.

That's according to Victor Conte. But I disbelieve Conte's theory about why he didn't get popped while in the U.S. Keep in mind Conte has his own personal vendetta against Ariza, so you have to steer cautiously when hearing his comments.

Either Rios blatantly used it without Ariza's knowledge, or it was through a contaminated supplement. On second thought, I think Rios blatantly used it without Ariza knowing.

This is an interesting point. And it was something Alex Ariza brought up very, very early on when the testing began. He said he heard from his contacts in the Philippines/China that they hadn't seen Pacquaio getting tested. And he said if Pacquaio was getting tested like Brandon Rios was, there is no way there wouldn't be photos or footage, especially photos. Because there's so much press around him.

But up til now, we only have footage and photos of Rios doing the tests out in the open publicly. It's a bit odd.

maybe pac had closed practice that day they took blood sample. does the contract say they have to have pictures too? I'm sure ariza has seen pac tested many times but now hes working for the competition....

VADA catches cheaters. USADA throws away samples. Huge difference.

No, Ariza has not seen Pacquaio testing many times before because they never did random drug testing during training camp in the past.

But maybe they did close-off media and press so much so that whenever he had to take samples, there was none around.

Fighters should just sign up for both drug testing agencies when they are going to fight and additional drug testing is required because it really makes no sense to rely on one or the other because anybody can make mistakes.

they should pay for it out of their own pockets and also donate all their purse to charity

He doesn't like them because they popped his fighter....no kidding Garcia, no kidding.

Because He Failed A Test At Vada; Of Course They Like Option 2!!!

Lying fools. Get rid of Ariza and watch the failed drug test go away.... Not by accident or coincident!!!

My, my. How far we've come from... "Let the commission do their job." to "Let Manny use VADA for PED testing now."
