Why is Jean Pascal refusing VADA PED testing?

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Im now convinced Pascal is dirty

[Daddy T]

well if I was dirty I'd strut around demanding my opponent use USADA for show. But the minute they suggest using VADA I'd shut the **** up.

Pascal doesn't want to use USADA either and never has. He wants another Canadian organisation that he used previously.

Seems like there were quite a few number of boxers caught using PEDs by VADA and those under su****ion of using PEDs likes to use VADA as their preferred testing agency. hmmm..

While those fighters who insinuate/suspects/accused their opponents of PEDs prefer to get the services of USADA or other testing agency than VADA. reeks

Because he offered to pay $35,000 X 2 = $70,000 for an agency that the PED guru Heredia uses.

The more reputable VADA is less expensive, but is more stringent and catches people.

VADA isn't more reputable anywhere except in the minds of shallow boxing fans.

That said, Pascal comes off looking like a clown and deservedly so. Just another Memo lackey who might be juicing his damn self. Don't ever wanna hear his screechy "Take Dee Tess!" rant ever again.

Is it because he's been working with Angel "Memo" Heredia Hernandez?

Memo is an expert on passing other PED tests, but he has the people he works with avoid VADA for some reason.

VADA is less expensive than other testing, and yet it catches more PED cheats. It's $8000 compared to the $35,000 for the testing Pascal claims he wants.

It's exactly that reason. Memo can beat the Canadian tests....why else would you refuse the more well respected AND CHEAPER tests unless you knew you couldn't beat them with your designer steroids you make in your lab or wherever...

USADA - preferred testing agency of non-shallow boxers and boxing fans alike

VADA - preferred testing agency of shallow boxers and boxing fans alike

Take the test and we got a fight

I dont understand why they expect the B-side to pay for The a-sides test too ..??? Shouldn't it be 50-50. Or am I missing somthing here? Is this a move by Duva to make Pascal Fold?
STRANGE!!

Where you been? Pascal offered Kovalev's corner that he'll pay for the drug testing for the both of them as long as Kovalev undergo random blood testing, Kovalev said sure but let's use VADA. That's when Pascal backs off on paying the testing. He said he'd rather use his previous agency that test his blood against bute. And that VADA is expensive lol. VADA, $8,000 per fighter. His previous Agency (forgot the name of it) $38.000.

This^^^^^. Lmao!!!!

If you can just indulge me as I copy and paste my post from another thread...

Kovalev is undoubtedly juicing, as are all boxers....including Pascal. Or do people really think that the guy who has Memo Hererdia working for him is clean?

I'm more interested in what the purpose and psychology of song and dance about PED-testing is about, on the assumption that Pascal is dirty himself.

- Trying to get into Kovalev's head?

- Trying to make sure Kovalev drops any attempts at juicing, paranoid he may get caught, no matter how much his PED supplier assures him that he will pass any test?

- Projecting his own guilt onto others?

- Insecure that Kovalev has better PEDs than him?

- Shifting the blame off himself? Nothing says "I'm clean" to the naive fan than demanding more testing.....Peterson and Berto demanded better testing too before the got caught.
