Your official drug testing agency for your whole country would be in the pocket of one athlete not some but one! The same agency that chase Lance Armstrong until he was banned but would be in the pocket of a boxer who talks trash and flashes his money. I don't get that angle at all. And is the "Money belt" an official belt now? lol I thought that was a joke belt for that exbition fight.
    USADA is paid by Mayweather Promotions for his fights...double the rate that WADA gets.

        Where have I slammed Wilder over his opponents cheating? I have actually sided with Wilder on those incidents. I'm not a fan of the way he has navigated his career, but Povetkin was a cheat and Ortiz is a dumbass if he was caught with anything other than blood pressure meds, which he should have reported prior to testing.

          Idiot? Why, because I dare to question the integrity of WBC, USADA and Mayweather? Since when is boxing a clean sport free of scandal? Where there is smoke there is fire, and I question why WBC suddenly partners up with VADA just when Mayweather was retiring. Then, allows an exception to their policy with questionable loopholes that don't support their stance on cleaning up the sport and the overall safety of fighters. Seems fairly reasonable to call this into question.

              People hate Mayweather so much....they have convinced themselves that a drug testing agency founded by Victor Conte is a good thing.

              SMH.

                    And Floyd fought in Aug of 2017. Obviously you don't have much of a life if you took the time to respond to this thread with nothing of value.
