Danny Jacobs still not enrolled to Vada?

[Larry the boss]

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

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

Thats...interesting.

Golovkin has the WBC title AND HAS TO BE ENROLLED!!!..Jacobs is not even ranked by the WBC AND HAS NO OBLIGATION TO ENROLL

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.

Year round testing would help. It doesn't stop doping completely, but it makes it a lot more difficult and expensive.

Have to give credit to the WBC and Mauricio Sulaiman in particular for getting behind this. His old man would never have done it.

Eh..I already posted that Larry. Like three posts before yours. Take a deep breath.

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

It doesnt matter if hes ranked. He's fighting for the WBC title so my understanding is that in order for the WBC to sanction it each fighter must comply.

but ive never really looked that deep into it so.............

How you think Danny got cancer? Dude has been on the stuff for years....

Haymon signs his fighters up for USADA all of a sudden his Guys almost never test positive...

Must be a coincidence.

If he HAD TO..then he would be enrolled right?? but seems like him nor GGG has been tested yet..so this thread is pointless

Yeah, it's definitely a step in the right direction. Right now, it's just far too easy to dope out of competition - that's where the significant gains can and are made. Testing in competition is like dusting a crime scene for fingerprints after 1000 people have come and gone.

It's fair to be critical of the WBC and Sulaiman for a number of reasons, but they definitely deserve a tip of the cap for leading the charge against doping in boxing.

It instantly reminds me of a radio interview I heard last night, I think it was the head of the WTA - one of the tennis organizations. He was questioned about what tennis is doing to clean up the sport, and it was pointed out to him that at the latest Shangai Masters tournament - effectively the biggest non-major tournament, zero testing was done on the athletes. His response? "It's beneficial to be infrequent with testing, to discourage the systematic cheating". This shows me that even though it's 2017, basic principles of testing aren't even common.

Of course he does. He's the regular champ. Also, he has an obligation to the public to show he's clean.

He is the regular WBA champ not WBC..

he has an obligation to boxing to enrol, to prove hes not a drug cheat.
