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

[Lester Tutor]

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

Nah. It just shows she's not interested in journalistic gamble and fabrication. However, I will, say she should strongly advise others to have Conte not bring up VADA. Very awkward. Not the smartest press or publicity. Perhaps the FBI expects his public quota to mention VADA.. who knows really.

All I know Conte is loose a cannon. Dude has lost it. Next thing he'll say is Santa Clause takes PEDS because who can deliver gifts around the world in one night...

Unless they both signed up for 24/7/365, it's a cheap pr ploy at this point. Honestly, Im starting to think USADA was right to cancel the the Quillin-Wright tests after it was decided it was too short of a testing period. It really cheapens the brand to claim anyone came out clean under their program with just 3 weeks. The USADA and VADA brands are being abused for the sake of promoting an event and USADA/VADA shouldn't allow that.

Uh.....there is only like 3 weeks left before the fight, what good is testing now?

Why not. I am pretty sure they are both clean boxers.

Yeah, they put themselves in quite a box with the Conte association. In fact, when VADA originally came into fruition and the public first heard of it, it wasn't through Goodman. It was through Conte! And he was basically running his mouth about how it's his idea and he's the one who put it together.

She definitely should keep him at a distance.

Yup. For that reason Broner vs. Demarco also had no testing. They didn't feel there was enough time to really do it. And instead, some fabricating journalists tried to make them look bad for it.

Is this part of the new WBC-VADA thing?

[MDPopescu]

Whats the point? If its not year round, its not random.

100%. I'm sure either entity would use the argument that its a start in the right direction, but that doesn't change the fact this testing is virtually meaningless right now & the payment they are receiving is more a PR fee than a drug testing fee.

How are you pretty sure? Wouldnt they both be doing random testing 24 7 and not just when it's convenient?
