Comments Thread For: Golovkin, Lemieux To Go Through VADA PED Testing

[radioraheem]

They are small samples but to my mind it's indicating that VADA are about 8 times as likely to catch a PED user as USADA. If you were researching into this from a zero prior knowledge perspective then those stats right there would jump out at you and catch your attention.

Further research would reveal the the causative factors we're all aware of and you would undoubtedly conclude that VADA testing is much more rigorous than USADA testing.

It doesn't work that way though because there's too many variables. It is totally possible for VADA not to catch ANYONE for years. So for instance, VADA hasn't had a positive since 2013. Does that mean anything? Does that mean they are falling off and are less effective? That athletes are now beating them?

NOPE!

im confused tho dont they fight in like 2 or 3 weeks. im glad they are doing the testing but this is an obvious pr ploy just so they can say they did it. dont get me wrong tho im glad they are doing it

I wonder what Victor Conte has to say about this situation!

So just based on current fighters in those top tens, you got to have people on the ground in USA, Canada, mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Cuba, Congo, South Africa, Britain, Italy, Spain, France, Ireland, Poland, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, China, Thailand, Japan, Philippines, Australia, New Zealand. People in New Zealand just for Joseph Parker.
It would all have to be sub-contracted out and all the sub-contracted agencies would have to be monitored to make sure they are all working the same rules and guidelines - the lead agency would have to contract quality assurance organizations to check on the agencies.

Aint gonna happen.

Where do you see me arguing that it will happen? I'm just making suggestions for how to deal with PED usage if boxing wanted to stop it. I'm pro-PEDs personally & think most fans are in denial about being anti-PEDs & I know most of the power brokers in boxing are pro-PEDs based on their actions.

The UFC is doing testing with fighters all over the globe so its doable. I know that much. The reality is boxing doesn't care about PED usage. No one has been demonized for PED usage really if you think about it. I think Floyd took more **** over this IV stuff than anyone caught using legit PEDs & suspended has taken & thats more cuz he is Floyd than the IV angle I think we all realize.

I think at some point performance enhancing substances will become like alcohol post-prohibition & all this testing will be about regulation instead of bans & suspensions. They'll probably be drug ads on TV at some point featuring the 100yd dash gold medalist hyping whats helped make him the best runner he could be lol. Or you can visit some pro teams website & they'll be endorsed by some brand name PED or guys will have their perferred PED stack listed for the season. Thats what I hope for anyway. I'm fascinated by what science can do for human enhancements.

I actually like Margaret. I think she's cool. She definitely has great things to say about how it should be done for the sport we all love. She had a great interview on Al Bernstein's vlog.

She even stated on that youtube show that she doesn't think a boxer should take Toradol...''it's a very strong anti-inflammatory drug.'' She even says no matter what excuse a fighter should let the commission know about an injury and not the anti-doping agency.

But what do I know!??

VADA the only proper testing!

GGG and Lemieux get officially saluted for that!

USADA finally needs to get burned down, corrupt shi.tfest company that the PBC is using so Haymon fighters can use synthetic testosterone to manipulate their T/E level like Floyd did.

They'd take her down in flames if they heard about it. Too bad. Margaret, you better watch yourself!
