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

[Citizen Koba]

I'm wondering how that works too. why would Spence do wbc testing if he's the ibf champ

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.

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

Also surprised that Spence isn’t testing 🧐

Spence doesn't care about being removed from the WBC list. When they dropped him, he was #1 on the IBF list and on the verge of winning the IBF title from Kell.

Errol wasn't signed up for the WBC one either. He's the only one I know for sure wasn't.

Why he didn't? I have no clue.

I said the wbc is mad because some of the boxers on the list have been taking shots at Canelo and the wbc like Khan. I should or worded it better.

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

I caught the post fight Uzcategai(??) again & Jose claims the ref in his urine is from "Vitamin C" injections he takes in camp. Injections? Now that I see his name, I can't help but wonder what this dude is on.

Quick question, are the fighters paying for the tests themselves? If so, I'm surprised the list is so short. Only a hand full of fighters are making big $$. Hard to keep paying VADA to test you when you don't know when your next check is coming, and when they do come, they're small.

Word. That list might have about 4 fighters on it.

This doesn’t mean they are doping. If they are ranked under the WBC then I definitely would expect them to be enrolled.

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