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.

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.

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.
