Comments Thread For: Wladimir Klitschko to Be Tested By VADA for Anthony Joshua Fight

[Dr Rumack]

When it's not all year round testing it's meaningless. Dope for 40 weeks and get clean for the last 8. Ridiculous.

Uncle Eddie makes sure that AJ gets the best stack and masks that money can buy.

AJ again not doing Vada, just tested by UK antidoping? How many high profile fighters has UK antidoping caught and exposed in the last years?

Kid Galahad (banned), Larry Olubamiwo (banned), Dillian Whyte (banned), Enzo Maccarinelli (banned.. sort of), Tyson Fury (awaiting hearing), Hughie Fury (maybe awaiting hearing?), Tony Thompson (banned in UK)..

Other than Thompson, not high profile on the world scene, but all known british boxers on the domestic scene. How they deal with dirty tests is another issue.

UKAD are not a bad doping agency. They are just not as good as VADA.

This isnt RUSADA.

I don't have anything against Wlad as a person, but it would be ****ing hilarious on NSB if he tested positive for PEDs.

And Joshua.

“I’m on Whereabouts, where they know where I sleep every night and where I am every day,” said Joshua, who’ll defend his IBF title against Klitschko. “I wish both of us were on it, but we have drug-testing for eight weeks [for Klitschko]. For the last year, they’ve known where I am every day. So they can randomly turn up. But not everyone’s on that system. It’s called ADAMS Whereabouts [Anti-Doping Administration & Management System]. Listen, if I beat someone that’s on dope, I’m better than I expected. If not, the drug-testers will do their job.”

What does this mean, are they both not doing VADA?

AJ is doing VADA, it clarifies near article end. Wlad was insistent upon this early on in negotiations.

I can't believe nobody is asking Wlad questions regarding Fists of Fluff Furry's failed doping test for PED's forget the ******* charge that was clearly a ruse to get out of the rematch and likely save his ass from being sued for breach of contract on medical grounds.

Wlad denied answering questions about Furry post the conference.. I saw an interview where the reporters asked a couple of q, he said graciously that he will skip the questions..

Is Joshua undergoing VADA testing?

The article mentions it, but it seems all muddled up.

Other than this article, is there confirmation that:

Joshua is tested by both VADA/UKAD, and Klitschko tested by only VADA

@MonteroOnBoxing both fighters are contracted for VADA testing for the fight - AJ also has 365 random testing with UKAD

What were the questions ?

I'd like to know what his legal team are currently doing in regard to these doping allegations, it appears Wlad was cheated in his loss surely if Fluff has tested positive Wlad should be mandated for his old belts immediately. Hopefully he collects all three versus Joshua and faces Parker, I have given up hope of Wilder ever facing a top opponent let alone the last champion even in his advanced years.

That's way more than USADA ever caught.. the choice of the TBE
