WADA is not the same as USADA and VADA. WADA just makes the rules basically that anti-doping organisations have to follow. They don't administer tests. USADA and VADA are more similar, and even they aren't the same. USADA is way bigger and is the official anti-doping organisation for the United States, sponsored by the US government. Just like UKAD is the official anti-doping organisation for the United Kingdom, sponsored by the United Kingdom. NSAC is sponsored by The State of Nevada.
VADA is an independent and not sponsored by the US government or any state. They have only been around for a few years, extremely small organisation, etc. They send their samples for testing to the same lab that USADA sends samples to for results (UCLA). NSAC sends to a lab in Utah. Both the UCLA and Utah labs are WADA-accredited.

Hilarious.
