Comments Thread For: WBC Reveal List of Boxers Not Enrolled in VADA Testing

Learn something new everyday. Will definitely change perspective

That's not true. He defends USADA because that's why Mayweather uses. And USADA rarely catches cheaters, whilst VADA does catch them more frecuently. Plus VADA is cheaper.

After the IV scandal USADA improved their ratio though. They lost a lot of image. Before that, they were trash...

I don't remember the exact number but till that point USADA had only catched 1 cheater in 46 boxing fights or something, while VADA caught 3 cheaters in 16 fights.

Guys like Lomachenko haven't done VADA either as far as i know.

Yeah, but neither his opponents. Even playing field = both fighters do VADA the same amount of time.
In the Jacobs situation we had Golovkin doing VADA and Jacobs not doing it, until this week. (But the fight was announced 5-6 weeks ago).

He isn't enrolled in VADA. He's doing VADA testing because he has a fight with Golovkin. He started this week.

We doubted because he was blocking people. Also the WBC had to clarify with a tweet... Jacobs' team wasn't responding. So the fight was announced more than 1 month ago but he just started VADA this week.

He's not enrolled with VADA because he's not in the WBC MW rankings you fool:

Read the rules. Anyone competing for the belt has to be enrolled in VADA.

Oh now he's doing VADA? Yet you were bashing him.

But look at your second hero, after a month, not enrolled in VADA yet. Uh oh!

Oh so now it's ok not to do testing as long as your opponent doesnt? So, is it ok not to test or not ok? You can't have it both ways, mate.

I thought VADA handled Kovalev vs Ward

BBBoC apparently has a stricter testing profile than VADA currently has to begin with.

You are correct. UKAD bans athletes from different sports all the time. By far the strictest national anti-doping program in the world.

Yanks are marvelling at VADA simply because they've run institutional doping programs in cycling and athletics for years and this is the first time anyone has ever tried to clamp down on it.

Jacobs started VADA this week. Few days ago, when we asked about it, he wasn't doing VADA.

Oh so now it's ok not to do testing as long as your opponent doesnt? So, is it ok not to test or not ok? You can't have it both ways, mate.

I hope Loma does VADA for his next fight.

It did.........

[aldo5408]

how many of the fighters listed not using VADA are, instead, using USADA (the actual standard for testing procedure in the US); the testing protocol also only being a rule of the WBC (not currently observed by their partners at the WBA and IBF or by the WBO/IBO/WBU/etc) complicates things as well.

I know that folks want to ignore the history, but VADA has Brandon Rios piss into an open cup, that then came back flagged, because of an ingredient typically found in energy drinks.

No other sport in the world relies on VADA for their testing procedure.

I Never thought of that makes a lot of sense thanks

The WBA also stated they plan to use VADA in the future.

"We know that the WBC has reached an agreement with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) and we plan to do the same. We believe that positive initiatives should be followed no matter where they come from. Although our anti-doping policy has always been strong, we will reinforce it much more," said the WBA President.
