Brook doing VADA testing, waiting on Spence

[Robbie Barrett]

Like Canelo and Liam Smith?

Did Canelo turn down testing? Or did Liam Smith pull out of VADA testing and Canelo just said fuck it?

[lizard_man]

He can and he did. Of course he can't be forced, but it's going to cause a shitstorm if Spence doesn't.

It's not going to cause a **** storm. We've had examples of this already happening. People refuse to take the test and there's nothing that happens.

Do You Think That's What's Killing boxing

He will not sign up for it voluntarily. Innocent until proven guilty. Hopkins didn't sign up for testing against pascal. Kovalev didn't either. Did it ruin their reputations? No. Hell, kovalev is still considered the boogie man. Pacquiao still kept all his fans and people still backed him and made excuses for him turning down usada. Mayweather gets a pass for the iv drip. Brook is dumb. This will not ruin spence at all if he refuses.

Exactly...Same people that gave lemule a pass for coming in at light heavyweight vs stevens saying "oh well not in the contract for second day weigh in" will be the same ones complaining about Spence not taking VADA if he chooses to do so, even though it isn't in the contract. I'm still trying to figure out who anointed VADA as the GOD of drug testing for boxing? Or are they just more trusted than all the other organizations? Or since Floyd never used VADA then automatically they are the go to source? I still don't understand the VADA or nothing mindset of some of "boxing" fans on this forum. Nobody is going to care about the **** storm that starts up from a few nobodies on a couple boxing forums...

No. The casuals are oblivious to all these doping allegations, take the test, vada usada, wbc clean program etc. Only hardcores know and keep up with that. So that isn't what's killing boxing.

Lol pretty much hit the nail on the head

Where does it say that testing isn't in the contract? I must have missed that part.

Apparently Hearn posted on twitter that ALL contracts have already been signed. So why is brook waiting for spence to sign the vada paperwork?

Most boxing fans believe Pacquiao was juicing because he turned down testing. Mayweather got a pass? The media savaged him. Hopkins and Kovalev got heat for turning down testing.

Why even cause that for yourself over some testing, it's not like it's hard. Unless you have something to hide of course.

Mindgames maybe? Insinuating that Errol Spence might be hesistant? Perhaps Spence's team were reluctant to agree to testing? I just wasn't aware that testing is NOT in the contract. Would be an odd thing not to include to ensure an even playing field.
