Comments Thread For: Barrera: Bivol Dragging His Feet on Agreeing To VADA Testing

[ShoulderRoll]

The champions and top 15 ranked fighters are required to do VADA testing like the WBC's clean boxing program.

Why is Bivol dragging his feet?

[Bronx2245]

Good for them. I don't trust VADA anymore. They never catch any big money making stars in North America. If I was Bivol or any other top boxer that isn't protected by the corrupt boxing establishment, I would refuse to use VADA whenever possible, because it seems that all VADA is being used for these days is to ensure certain guys cant use PEDS while their opponents can. I just want to see fights on an even playing field, and I think for that to happen, guys need to start rejecting VADA.

WOW! You don't trust VADA anymore? LMAO!

Barrera wants it, let him pay for both

True Doper must be!!

October 30, 2017:

The World Boxing Association (WBA) Board of Directors voted in favor of the “Fair Boxing” program being implemented in a compulsory way in the regional and world fighting championships for the top 15 rankings of the organization.

During the second shift of the WBA Board Meeting, they agreed by voting that boxers for this type of fights should be enrolled in the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) program. The motion was proposed by the President of the WBA, Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, as a way to achieve a fairer sport.

Mendoza invited all organizations that have not joined to work together with VADA, and do it now to the boxing’s benefit. The executive explained that being registered in the association’s program does not mean that fighters will be tested for each fight, but tests will be done randomly as it is done normally by VADA.

He also explained that if it is necessary, promoters can request tests before the fights and take charge of the costs arising.

After the motion was approved, the Board left the responsibility of creating a committee to manage and carry out the program on Mendoza’s behalf.

At least the UFC has mandatory USADA testing (except for when they make exceptions ala Lesnar). Drug testing costs promoters too much, if their star fails then that greatly impacts the money they can earn.

Bivol I'm still not sold on completely, the least he could do is comply with the same drug testing his opponents sign on to

Lmao you still mad VADA caught pedvetkin huh

He's mad as a swamp raccoon with the measles....

[Robbie Barrett]

Obviously not.

Why is Bivol dragging his feet?

Looks like Barrera wants the more aggressive 8 week testing which fighters have to pay for themselves.

[ShoulderRoll]

Barrera is even willing to pay for the testing.

Why is Bivol hesitating? Is he scared of needles?
