USADA vs. VADA : Anti-Doping Duel

[HeroBando]

There's a reason why VADA is cheaper, and it's a significant one. But you wouldn't know because you buy into the biased crusade.

USADA sanctions a number of athletes year-round. And they are the official anti-doping organisation sponsored by the United States. Similar to how UKAD is the official anti-doping agency for the United Kingdom. The USADA sanctions can be found on their website.

Uh ok. Again missing the point, willfully Im sure

VADA >>>>>>>>> USADA

not only are they far more inexpensive than USADA, but they ACTUALLY catch boxers rather than sweeping it under the rug or destroying testing samples like USADA does.

Nope, you have no point. And if you do, please make them rather than omitting them.

Its always the same merry go round with you bud. You just posted a link with Usada sanctions from well regulated sports, where these guys are hired by the regulators and not athletes and their teams. Conflicts of interest, remember? You better, I told you half dozen times at least and each time you sheepishly agree. And then forget all about it lol

Anyone who doesn't see this is just a blind nuthugger who only wants what their favorite fighter wants.

These are the same guys advocating for "cleaning up the sport!"

Again, there are many things you don't even realise. For example, when an athlete enters into a contract with USADA, they agree to USADA enforcing sanctions upon them in event they come up positive.

There is corruption in all athletics, not just boxing. We can say there is conflict of interest, but is there conflict of interest when a student pays for a college degree? Does that negate the fact that they put in the time and work to receive the said degree?

Again, you'd have to run with conspiracy theory to believe that organisations like USADA and/or VADA would put their reputations on the line for an athlete. When history has shown the contrary.

First off, Usada doesnt have stellar rep. Second, nothing illegal about signing a limited disclosure contract. Third, boxing is dirty as hell and getting dirty yourself is price of admission, and most mainstreamers understand that.

Whatever, just stop posting about Lance and Usadas busts in other sports, when its has nothing to do with the fcuked up situation in boxing

Are you kidding me? USADA has a stellar international reputation, even VADA's Founder went on record admitting this much. All athletics have corruption by the way, not just boxing. And some sports hide their corruption much better than boxing does.

Here is another thing you don't even realise. If staff at USADA partakes in covering up tests or putting their reputation on the line for an athlete, they risk guaranteed jail time. Because they are sponsored by the United States government. Whereas VADA, they are independently sponsored and not affiliated with any local, state, or national government.

I'm not joining the flame war or anything, but I have a legitimate question here...

Has USADA ever caught any boxers doping/using banned substances?

[Fetta]

They both do the same thing
