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

[john l]

Seems odd to me if true and have no reason to believe it is not.Bivol has MORE money behind him then Barrera.And waiting till closer to date is a way to hide PED use.The drugs work BETTER when you cycle off just makes me wonder that's why there needs to be 365 testing for ALL orgs.I mean whats the IBF and WBO waiting for?Heard WBA is starting it along with WBC.But heard WBC almost never tests outside of fight signings.Watch someone will die in ring and after his opp will test dirty and then watch the s hite and lawsuits fly.It will be VERY bad for sport.I hate this era because I don't want to believe Bivol(who has never tested dirty)is not clean but its hard not to wonder obv a decent% is at least.

Barrera seems super reasonable here...

Why do people wait until after the contracts are signed to demand testing? That should be negotiated during negotiations of the contract. You tell a fighter he's getting $300,000 and he's budgeted for his training expenses and other expenses. Suddenly you wanna throw an extra $15k in there. That's crazy.

If you read here he signed a tentative agreement not a full contract

365 testing is expensive but the real reason you won't see it is that a lot of guys use. I used to use and it's truly incredible how pro athletes just consider it part of the game.

Part of the problem is, fans think it's so you can be jacked on fight night. That couldn't be further from the truth. It's for recovery while training,so you can workout harder. So, you'll often see older fighters, out fighters with injuries using them, not just the muscular guys. Look what happened when UFC implemented random testing. Failure after failure, including several icons of the sport, and all the Anthony Joshua looking guys too.

One of the few guys who knows what they're talking about.

Bivol is clearly using PEDS and pretty much every Russian athlete is on something. They don't see it as cheating, just part of of their training regime.

I'm sure his team will agree to the testing soon once they're absolutely sure he's fully cycled off the PEDS from his system so the testing then will be pointless.

All Russian athlete's should be banned from all sports until their sports federation cleans up its act and starts implementing independent year round testing on all its athlete's.

And of cause Anthony Joshua is juicing, any one who thinks differently is an idiot.

The day Joshua gets knocked out will be a great day for the sport of Boxing and for all the clean Boxers out there who put their lives on the line against these cheats.

I couldn't care less if a 100 metre sprinter is juicing, he's not punching someone in the head but if a boxer is juicing then he should be charged with a Felony in the same way Luis Resto was charged for tampering with his gloves.

All I'll say is there are a ton of posters who have a history of holding pitchforks when news like this "breaks" about fighters they aren't fans of con****uously absent from this thread...

Yea you cant just eat chips and take steroids and get big.Your right its about recovery and how often you can work out.But there is money with the amount of fees these crooks rake in alone.But they don't want to spend it.Blood doping is prob a bigger prob or will be.Somthing needs to be done because its a train wreck story waiting to happen.And boxing's had enough
