Not sure auditing would be your expertise, but the information is in your face with the VADa report I posted.Comment

He isn't a cheater until he fails a test and he never has. That fact that Povetkin is his countryman has nothing to do with anything. That's like saying if one American boxer is caught cheating then every American boxer is a cheater.Comment

No that’s not like what I was saying. He got caught skipping tests so he’s a cheater. He’s a cheater just like PovetkinComment

So VADA testing is 1:1. Let’s you and I be promoters. My guy has agreed to do the same amount of random tests as your guy, VADA will handle the random tests.
Your fighter and my fighter gets tested on week A.
Week B, my fighter gets tested, but your fighter didn’t.
I talk to my fighter and say, “look we got a situation here...your fight might be cancelled, and I don’t know when or how I’ll be able to reschedule, and plus, they got a clause for the rematch. They’ve agreed to compensate us and we can’t disclose what happened. We’ll have to sign some new contracts agreeing with this...Its your call, we can still make this fight get paid. It’s your call.”
Remember that VADA just does testing. Their not held accountable if promoters agree to any new stipulations made in new contracts.
It’s a bit comedic why these reporters just leak out reports like this.Comment

May-Pac was huge stakes, a lot of negotiation, most fights aren't going to have a clause making sure both fighters are tested the exact same number of times. Notice how Mikey is tested twice but Spence 0 times.
They wouldn't release the figures showing Kov missed a test but not mention that Kov missed a test. Remember how Charlo missing a test came out before his fight, but here nothing has been said even though it's after the fight and the figures are publicly available.
The real concern is that while we like to think guys in the CBP are clean, only 9 were tested in 1 month. Less than 1 guy per division. Probably a lot of cheats still taking their chances with those odds, especially as of the 9 I've only heard of 2 of them (Whyte, Ugas) so the big names likely feel safe from risk.Last edited by Clegg; 02-16-2019, 07:31 PM.Comment

Who’s “they?”
If you mean VADA, they don’t care, they’re not sanctioning the fight nor making any decisions for fights. They just do the testing for the promoters whom agree or disagree with a problem and go into new contracts to salvage a fight or it gets cancelled, postponed.
Again, VADA does 1:1. These reports aren’t meant to be leaked out. They’re not expecting the public to analyze those reports, and any fabrication would get them into a lot of trouble with snitches in the industry, so they know it’s best to disclose all information. Besides, the promoters are the one’s who know why Kovalev was only tested once.
The Charlo’s were penalized and VADA had to make a public disclaimer to cover their asses.
“WBC Clean Boxing Program whereabouts urgent advisory
Every single fighter who is enrolled in the WBC Clean Boxing Program is responsible for his acts. Trainers, managers and promoters must be aware of, and participate directly in the CBP compliance in support of the fighters they represent.
I have seen with deep concern the so many criticisms against WBC champion Jermel Charlo and interim champion Jermall Charlo regarding their missed tests.
It is important for the WBC to clarify that both Charlos have been tested in the past and that the infraction they are facing is a missed test, which has been acknowledged and they will be responsible to pay the corresponding fine. It is important, however, to clarify that they have not tested positive for any substance whatsoever.
This is why it is extremely urgent for all boxers to enroll in the CBP and to update at all times their residence and training location to VADA, which is the agency administrating the CBP for the WBC.
It is very simple, if you are chosen for testing and are not available for the collector to test you, you will be incurring a missed test penalty.
It is of extreme importance that every fighter updates their whereabouts forms with VADA at all times.“Comment
