"CIR is a regular part of the USADA testing program for all athletes under USADA's jurisdiction, as well as a routine part of the anti-doping programs conducted by USADA in the sport of professional boxing," USADA said. "It is completely inaccurate to say that CIR testing would only be done if a T/E ratio is 4-1."
Conte told NYFightBlog that VADA flagging the Peterson specimen will result in the embrace of the CIR test by testing en******, and the jettisoning of the T/E ratio test, which he disputed as a loophole you can fit a Mack truck through.
USADA countered that CIR has, in fact, been embraced in the testing community:
"CIR has been used by anti-doternationally since the early 2000s and there have been many athletes sanctioned by USADA and other national anti-doping organizations around the world as the result of CIR testing. CIR is an important tool in our toolbox and we use it strategically and effectively."
