What is VADA?

[gee73]

By the way, for all the people, who think that VADA is so much better than USADA:
Please look at that form and tell me what's wrong here.

Hint: testing according to the WADA code can the done at any time between 6 am to 10 pm.

I have heard HBO casting, could've sworn it was Jim Lampley, that has said in the past during a bout, "Our HBO ring Doctor..."

I will try and find that if I remember. Smoking a fat spliff

She has spoken on both HBO and Showtime. But I don't think that she was something hired by HBO. At some times that would have violated commission rules.

How about this. Go suck on a *******.

Same labs, so where is VADA better.

The question you need to ask is why is USADA more expensive. What are people paying for when they pay USADA way more money?

"Participants in NBC’s new boxing series called “Premier Boxing Champions” (“PBC on NBC”) will be will be subjected to “rigorous, Olympic-style random drug testing” by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), according to Lamont Jones, vice president of operations for the series." -Lem Satterfield

Lamont Peterson and Andre Berto got caught by VADA, and Haymon and his fighters have stayed away from VADA ever since.

USADA is corrupt as fck. Olympic style testing.. Lol

Thinking most Olympians aren't juiced to the gills? Haha yeah right.

An HBO employee has convinced people that USADA risked millions in government grants, and their reputation, for a couple hundred thousand from Floyd Mayweather. USADA is popping athlete in UFC left and right. They're also responsible for Olympic athletes. But an HBO employee has convinced people that the HBO testing company is better.

Like a poster said earlier, go look at what happened in China to Brandon Rios. Also look at what just happened to Lucas Browne in Russia. He failed a POST FIGHT drug test for a weight cutting drug. His tests during the week were clean but he took a weight cutting drug after weigh in? VADA doesn't operate in Russia so who collected the tests and sent them to VADA?

When I go on USADA site I can look up who was tested, when they were tested, and their results. I can't even get clarity on the drug testing agreement between the WBC & VADA.

Vada are the ones who catch the cheats..USADA are the ones that throw away positive samples and create exemptions after the fact..

And neither test all year round in boxing so whoever is getting caught is an enormous imbecile...

That's really all you need to know..

End thread here..../
Nothing more to say.

Good question.

USADA adheres to wada code and guidlines with an extensive supporting infrastructure.

Whereas VADA copied and pasted most, but not all, wada prohibited list. I don't know anything about the staff. Do you?



Have you visited VADA and USADA websites? My first impression was VADA was one of those websites used by foreign internet scammers.

Great post. Thanks for your knowledgeable contribution and insight.


Are there any links that you can point to for the items I highlighted?

I like VADA more than USADA. Given how many crooks have slipped the testing during the Olympics for US, I haven't exactly trusted them. And that was well before they were brought into boxing.
