Comments Thread For: WBC Reveal Huge List of Boxers Not Drug Testing With CBP/VADA

[-DSG-]

Spence is juicing that’s an obvious one.

[NC Uppercut]

It's historical as well. It covers all fighters who didn't enroll since the programs inception back in 2015. I'm assuming Spence had a ranking with the WBC before he became champ. Given that it covers a span of three years, though, there's not really that many fighters on the list. The WBC is maybe trying to show what a great job it's doing.

Problem is, when you actually look at who's actually being tested and when it turns out that they include the 8 week protocol which is standard with most big(ish) fights as satisfying the requirements of having been tested for the CPB...

I've not actually managed to break down the complete figures yet, but a glance at the lists of fighters tested and their fight dates seem to indicate that there's very little 24/7/365 testing going on and very much business as usual. I've been meaning to throw together an e-mail to VADA and ask for an actual list of which fighters have been tested outside of the agreed testing schedule for an upcoming fight. My su****ion is that it won't be a long list.

But if Spence wants to Unify with Keef, he needs to be sanctioned by the WBC.? Why would he put himself in the position to NOT be able to get that title too?

Maybe some of these are in the WBA one instead? Their top 15 has to do VADA too.

Robbie, do you have a link about the WBA making their top 15 piss in da cup? I know I heard they were thinking about it, didn’t think it came to fruition yet

What about him wanting to get sanctioned by the WBC to fight Keef doe? Does he not want the BC title too?

My understanding is, he won't have to. You only have to if you're a RANKED in the WBC. Since he's a champ elsewhere, he isn't ranked anywhere else.

I gotcha bro. I have some feelings about Clenelo right now. He effed up the biggest fight of this year IMO, and now 3G looks like a schtik fighting Vanes, and will probably be stripped of IBF bc of Canelo pulling out and G not fighting Derevyanchenko. I think him fighting Derevyanchenko after prepping for a orthodox fighter would’ve screwed him up tbh. All opinions... no worries about the remark..I gotcha bro

it would be ****** for ggg to fight him on short notice. From a fans perspective I’d have like to seen that fight but I understand why he wouldn’t take that fight on such a short notice. Canelo and GBP are idiots. They preached all that bs about cleaning up the sport but they were cheating the whole time.
His career will be tainted until he retires and this may set off the ending of Canelo. Also announcing knee surgery after testing positive was not the brightest thing to do from

They started off with the top 5 at the start of last year.

Then voted to expand it to the top 15.

All he needs to do is sign to fight and voila - he's enrolled the CPB! In theory he would then be subject to random 24/7/365 drug testing... in practice... not so much. The WBC would announce that he's part of the CPB if he signs up for a standard 8 week pre-fight protocol, their lists of tested fighters would include his name.

1. Voluntary Enrolment (Pre-Competition Testing): Any boxer can enroll to become subject to In-Competition-random testing prior to participating in a WBC-Sanctioning fight. Upon such enrollment, VADA will set up a pre-fight random testing protocol which shall take place before the fight. So, if a fighter who is scheduled to participate in a WBC-sanctioned championship fight does not voluntarily enroll in the CBP Pre-Competition Anti-Doping Testing prior to the fight, he/she will: (a) still be an eligible fighter within the CBP Out-of-Competition testing and could be subject to random testing; and (2) will be subjected to the WBC mandatory testing under the WBC Rules & Regulations as set forth below.

Clenelo Alvaroidz is not with Vada either - why he is not on the list?!
