VADA is not 100% useful when it's not 365/7.

Wladimir few months before his fight with Joshua I believe Of course on roids:



Joshua and him didn't look as big as usual in the fight. Seems like the 2 months off the roids made a significance.

But still, they need to be tested all year.

not sure why yall think boxers use the type of roids to get big like bodybuilders....if anything they use the kind to build stamina or to make weight

I agree with this 100%, Wlad clearly didn't have the stamina of his younger days in the Joshua fight

WBC tests all year.

WBC always instituting the major changes in boxing, forcing others to eventually follow their lead.

WBC reduced from 15 rounds to 12, everybody eventually copied. WBC moved weigh ins to the day before the fight, everybody eventually copied. WBC made fighter medical exams mandatory, everybody eventually copied. WBC added the 4th ring rope to prevent fights falling to the floor, everybody eventually copied. WBC demanded thumb attached gloves, everybody eventually copied. WBC eliminated six ounce gloves, everybody eventually copied.

And everyone will eventually copy the WBC's year round testing.

I think everyone knows that. Problem is who's going to do it? I think the abc groups that are testing their ranked fighters is a good start. I mean its a hell of a task to have any one entity test the 20k active boxers randomly all year long.

Personally I think commissions (state & country) need to get in on this too & ultimately be the main entity behind insuring 365/24/7 testing is happening & one would think its doable if they merely raise the price of a boxing license to cover the costs of testing. I think state commissions in the US are already doing testing of some sort just not on par with whats needed. I believe the UK is doing this as well & might even be doing more in depth testing instead of just the random piss test, but idk that for a fact. But basically they are already doing this so they just need an upgrade to the new testing measures one needs today.

VADA was corrupted at its inception by allowing too much influence from Victor Conte especially testing procedures.


Margaret Goodman appears genuine, just caught up by the con man Contes slick talk.


Conte knows VADA test like the back of his hand. He knows what,when, how and why.

Then sets up SNAP. Lmao. What a scam.

I wouldn't say they are a scam. At least they catched many dopers in the process.

They should start testing as soon as a contract is signed, the benefits of roiding in training camps is more significant, UKAD tests British fighters year round randomly.

this is why contract signing is often delayed

It's barely useful even when it is 365

With that said, I'm not sure what that photo of Wlad is meant to illustrate
