Bad PR & ****.
And there is nothing stopping a fighter from voluntarily participating in the WBC testing program as far as I am aware.

Originally posted by radioraheem View PostIt's a bit confusing actually. Because it seems that it's not really mandatory. It's just they are stepping in to encourage the fighters to enroll into it. And only the fighters within their Top 15.

Originally posted by Barcham View PostBecause fighting for a WBC title or holding a title is a choice a fighter makes. A fighter has no say at all as to where or even if he appears in the rankings of any sanctioning body. I think the WBC plan is solid and that they should begin testing a fighter on the same day he is announced as having signed for a title fight.

Originally posted by Barcham View PostWBC's new policy states that all their title holders will be subject to random testing throughout the year, not only when preparing for fights. That is the most that any sanctioning body can mandate as unless you hold a WBC title, or are fighting in a WBC sanctioned title fight, they have no reason at all and no right at all to test you.

“We have instituted the mandatory drug testing for all title fights since 1975,” Sulaiman told BoxingScene.com. “We want to make boxing safer. We are instituting VADA, which includes random testing to any fighter rated in the top 15 of a division. It includes voluntary testing for the fight and hopefully the other organizations do something similar.”

Originally posted by Eff Pandas View PostIt still seems like the WBC could weld as much power as they want to here to me. They could just as easily throw in that anyone ranked who doesn't volunteer to be 24/7/365 tested loses their rank or can't be chosen for a title shot or whatever. Again this is someone in boxing with power who's taken half measures on something that needs full measures. No one REALLY wants PED testing like it should be, even like it should be at a bare minimum which would seem to be all ranked fighters get tested.
