Danny Jacobs still not enrolled to Vada?

[satiev1]

Some people say he might have a medical certificate to use TRT (roids) because he's a cancer survivor.

Can't blame him. I would want to be as roided as possible facing ggg.

Updates?...

[Dr Rumack]

No mention of VADA enrolment on his boxrec page - http://boxrec.com/boxer/432984

Unlike Golovkin - http://boxrec.com/boxer/356831

Thats...interesting.

I thought the WBC requires it now

GGG diehards are already trying to come up with excuses should GGG lose.

[Motorcity Cobra]

To be fair the VADA website doesn't state that GGG is under VADA testing at the moment either. They normally announce when each fighter starts the testing for a fight.

Saying that, yeah, I find kinda strange the physical transformation that Jacobs had... he used to be a skinny MW and now he's very bulky but you never know... I'll leave it like that.

I think they stopped listing the WBC fighters who are already drug testing so not having him on their site doesn't mean he's not being tested. He is being tested.

This is how I understand the programme.

One of the most salient aspects of the CBP is that it includes out-of-competition, random anti-doping testing. All WBC champions and the boxers included in the top 15 in the WBC ratings are eligible for out-of-competition, random anti-doping testing. Enrollment in the CBP is mandatory for all eligible boxers.

But it seems like Jacobs is not ranked with the WBC - http://wbcboxing.com/ratings/ratings-wbc-dic-2016.pdf

That would mean he doesn't have to be enrolled. Wonder if he's doing the pre-fight randomised testing at least.

If he is doping then great, I want Golovkin to defeat the best version of Jacobs.

It's not a stretch to say that most fighters are on something. Why the hell wouldn't they be? Testing is so lax, the could piss gasoline and no one would know.

When there's this much money and fame on the line, you've gotta get that extra 5% from somewhere.

I completely understand that fighters body shapes and composition change over time, and can be improved upon. But Jacobs transformation is incredible - it's not like he was giving half-effort in the gym beforehand..now he's a specimen.

It's not really a question of who is juiced up - it's a question of who is juicing up most effectively.

He doesnt have to enroll...he is not ranked by the WBC
