USADA, VADA, and athletic comission testing?

[radioraheem]

lol, who are the morons? where are you right now in your head? first you call me a liar(then duck my response) and now there are some morons spreading more lies

who lied, with what exactly?

When did I call you a liar? And where was your response to me particularly?

I told that guy the absolute truth, that they are all using 4:1, including NSAC. And yes, only the fools try to say otherwise.

The commission has been catching cheaters mostly TMT fighters. USADA has been useless, considering they claim to conduct multiple blood testing and all.

The commission's findings have been taken from post-fight URINE samples, which is actually useless if you consider that the point of the testing is to protect fighters. But then it's far better than what USADA has been doing, which is nothing but lie.

I have heard that the primary difference between USADA & VADA, is that USADA allows theraputic use exemptions via a doctor's prescription as long as it is disclosed, whereas VADA does not allow any illegal external substances under any circumstances whatsoever.

Does anyone know if this is a fact? If so, that is a huge gap between the two.

EDIT: Apparently, it is true

VADA allows TUE also, but I'm guessing they must be more strict about what they allow

If anyone knows the specific differences or wants to take the time to figure them out, please elaborate

VADA has TUEs too.

Don't believe the hype. Even NSAC uses a 4:1 ratio now! And they don't even test for everything unless it's through their random drug testing program. But random or not, even NSAC does 4:1 on samples. So don't believe these morons.

Also going to need a source on this. I remember back in March 2013, they had a meeting discussing the possibly of lowering it to 4:1, but I never heard any confirmation that they actually did it.
