Comments Thread For: Kovalev Requests VADA Testing, Counters Pascal's Attack

In your FACE! Well done krusher.

Really? Then why is pascal suddenly oh so quiet now when before he was talking so much sh^t? you tell me

Because he got exactly what he wanted -- random drug testing through VADA. There's no reason for him to speak on it anymore. He only spoke up because it wasn't happening, he was getting the run around.

I know someone who still speak about some 5 yrs ago even if he already got exactly what he wanted.. oh well

Ward would have saved a lot of face had he done it this way. Same for Hopkins.

Pascal hasn't used VADA before. This will mark the first time he's used them if it happens. VADA will likely announce it on their Twitter page first, then later after successfully completing their program, post him on their website.




Pascal has used neither USADA or VADA before. He did do some sort of random drug testing before, but through some other agency in Canada.

Ok. But it was USADA he was talking about getting them both to use for this fight.

Really? Im seeing a double standard from you. Dont be that type of boxing fan

They are doing random testing now, and we still got the fight... So why all the back and forth? Kovalev was called out and he came out fighting and put an end to it. This is what boxing fans want or should want, so no need for any back to forth over this.

I've checked with http://vada-testing.org/ ...
There is no mention about Jean Pascal there...

(They mention Pacquiao, Bradley, Algieri etc... But not Pascal)...

WADA, not VADA

Through IDTM

[bazookajoe]

And according to what I've read, Pascal is with USADA, not VADA.

Nope, USADA has no jurisdiction to come into Canada, so they can only test athletes in US training camps and not during fightweek whn fights are in Canada

There is no double standard.

It would be entirely different if neither fighter was officially scheduled to fight. Talking can go on forever in that case because nothing is official. But when a fight is officially scheduled, and both parties agree to officially have testing, there is absolutely nothing more to talk about. Nothing more for Pascal to say, he got what he wanted. Case closed.
