VADA finally became the standard in drug testing in boxing worldwide

[_Maxi]

VADA became the standard. When everyone talks about GOOD drug testing, in boxing, it's VADA they request.

Hauser wasn't so wrong after all

With the WBC and WBA adopting it, it's ironic it's not really voluntary any more as the name implies.

As long as boxing has a testing protocol that works randomly I couldn't care less who handles the testing. The main thing that most fans wanted was a clean sport. Am glad we have all moved forward from the "Only cowards ask for testing" scenario.

Andre Berto has received a license to box in California, about three months after failing a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) drug test prior to a scheduled June fight with Victor Ortiz. That fight, which was to take place in Los Angeles, was canceled, and Berto's status was left up in the air.

A few days after the failed test was announced, it was also reported that it seemed more likely to be a case of contamination than of true doping, which makes it reasonable, I suppose, for California to license him so quickly after having failed the test.

Now, yes, Berto was impacted by VADA "busting" him -- he lost a big fight, and thus a big payday, and thus big exposure, not to mention a chance to avenge his only loss, in a highly-anticipated rematch of a Fight of the Year candidate. I'm not arguing that Berto "gets off free" here so much as I'm starting to wonder what real impact VADA or USADA can have.
...
If it doesn't matter that VADA catches guys either cheating, possibly cheating, or just plain screwing something up somewhere along the way, does it really matter that we even have the better testing? One would hope that boxing drug testing would keep moving forward, taking steps in a positive direction, and that VADA or someone else doing the same thing would be a major part of that, and that the commissions would back their play and agree to real consequences for failed tests.
