Cause buying Usadas silence costs a premium?The next thing you don't realise is that there is little difference between USADA and VADA. Each organisation just takes samples and sends them to the same exact UCLA lab for results. The main difference is that VADA is generally cheaper than USADA. And there's a significant reason why they are cheaper which you likely don't know.Comment

The samples are sent to the same lab but anything can happen in between the time span of taking the samples and delivering them to the lab. You think USADA and VADA are the same yet there's clearly a difference in what each has accomplished in the sport of boxing, which you failed to interpret from my original post.The next thing you don't realise is that there is little difference between USADA and VADA.

VADA provides their services at a quarter of the price that USADA charges, this gives lower tier athletes access to affordable random testing which means more athletes getting tested and an overall cleaner sport.Last edited by IR0NFIST; 03-13-2015, 03:23 AM.Comment

Come on man, please cut the nonsense. VADA doesn't have an internal staff for instance that collects samples. I bet you didn't know that. Their sample collecting gets outsourced to another company.The samples are sent to the same lab but anything can happen in between the time span of taking the samples and delivering them to the lab.

Again, there is technically no difference between the two organisations, as they both take samples and send them to the same exact UCLA lab for results. Yes, VADA charges less. But there is a reason for it. And you don't even know the key reason.

If the only difference is that VADA is cheaper, why is Floyd so adamant to just do USADA? With the amount of money Floyd is getting against Pac, adding VADA test to their testing program is not going to be a problem as you already mentioned VADA is cheaper.The next thing you don't realise is that there is little difference between USADA and VADA.
