We should NOT respect fighters that avoid VADA

[Larry the boss]

Yep, I remember saying in 10 years it would be the norm. I vividly remember a poster on here (Hatton fan) crying about how it would never happen, Mayweather was a coward and didn't want the fight etc... it's not even five years yet and we are almost half way through it. Like the OP said I hope it becomes the norm and year round with all organisations... And the biggest part is NO EXCUSES when you fail one.... ZERO

amazing aint it

Who does testing for Joshua VADA or UKAD ?

I think it is pointless to discuss if UKAD is doing this.. Wlad should ask for VADA too...

Hopefully the demand is there, surely after the UKAD debacle with Fists of Fluff being positive before the Klitschko fight Wlad won't take no shyt from Matchroom. I just did a check and Joshua is not VADA enrolled though it has been noted VADA testing is in place for this fight, appears Wlad has demanded it with the UKAD being beyond suspect and corrupt.

I wonder what would pop up if I did a search for "let the commission do their job"

True but he used VADA therefore we must respect him like your title says

My title doesn't say that.

Funny thing is, it is the same posters day in day out. Even though they could see that it WOULD be great for the sport regardless of who brought it into focus, they were still willing to let the sport continue in the way it was... Roid up!

That would open a can of a whole different worm, then you would see posters who were against random drug testing.

We shouldn't respect fighters who avoid VADA so should we respect fighters who don't avoid VADA?

[h2k]

The best test should be USADA.

[littlemac]

i remember the days when asking for drugs testing meant you were a coward

They just needed to "Sleep" on the it.

We shouldn't respect fighters who avoid VADA so should we respect fighters who don't avoid VADA?

No, that's a logical fallacy. Your conclutions is invalid.

P then Q
Not P then not Q -> logical fallacy.
