Comments Thread For: WBA Unveils 'Fair Boxing' - Their New VADA Drug Testing Program

[Shadoww702]

USADA is still the gold standard of random testing in the US, with Track&Field, Cycling, Olympic sport, etc all still keeping their faith in USADA.

Boxing, as far as I can tell, is the only sport that bothers with VADA (and the only reason that boxing even bothers with VADA is because the better system costs more than twice as much).

Anyone with the willingness to front the costs, chooses to go with USADA and that likely won't change

Pretty much this ↑↑↑

Good initiative from WBA, they should also stick to their goal to have only one legit title and get rid of regular titles..

That great can anybody post the results to Garcia and Thurman testing?

I mean its a step in the right direction if Boxing is legit trying to step PEDs, but wtf at only doing champions & the top 5? Seems like a limp **** version of what the WBC is doing.

USADA is not in business because of Boxing LMFAO they been around a long long time before Mayweather Came Calling for them to do testing for his matches.

Also they do testing for the UFC In General Now.

Yep. People who say the USADA is weak or bs or whatever negative slant don't know sh^t about olympic style drug testing. The USADA has gotten I believe at this point nearly 40, or maybe over 40 guys suspended in the UFC in the last year & a half or however long they've been in control of PED testing in the UFC.

Yeah but WBA has at least 10 champs per division so with the 5 contenders adds up to 15+ guys being tested.

Now it's time for the IBF and WBO to follow suit!

This is the worst news Briggs could have had.
