Is the WBA Fair Boxing program a joke?

[TonyGe]

CBP is not 24/7/365 testing.

Canelo wasn't on 24/7/365 when he failed his testing so it's not totally ineffective. According to the WBC website under their clean boxing program as long as a boxer holds a title or is ranked in the top 15 they can be tested at any time. How often that happens I don't know.

24/7/365 VADA program is far more rigorous than WBC Clean Boxing Program (which VADA also oversees).

I tried finding out the frequency of testing several time for both programs but came up with no information.

The WBA is a joke and inconsistent when it comes to PEDs

Theyll suspend Big Baby 6 months for testing positive for a smorgasbord Of PEDs That wouldn’t be in his system if he wasn’t trying to cheat

But without a hearing to look at facts replace Ortiz as the Mando and suspend him for a year for a misunderstanding and not declaring his medication

The WBA is a joke and has been for a very long time. I don't take anything they do seriously as they don't themselves

The WBA are a Haymon outfit.

I made a thread about this last year, outlining how Broner was gifted WBA title shots with opponents with magically appearing rankings.

It’s the Haymon version of Arum/WBO, so things like this aren’t really so shocking

It's ridiculous how Jarrell Miller is getting off with a slap on the wrist and that Top Rank is already angling to have him fight Tyson Fury.

That guy should have been banned for years not months.

Because he says that the CBP isn’t as stringent, that does not mean that it isn’t also random testing 365 days a year. Probably there is s lot less testing so the risk,though less, is still there for someone using PEDs.

Agree

It’s a joke , Sometimes when anfighter pops dirty there can be a case for reasonable doubt or ignorance

With Miller it’s Black & White . He’s a cheater now for the 2nd time

If not a lifetime ban , 5 year minimum but instead it’s 6 months ( no punishment )

The sport is basically encouraging fighters to juice with the punishments they hand out .

But it’s clear no one gives a f.uck , media /fans / sanctioning bodies / promoters. It’s all lip service

The only people That give a sh.it are a few of the fighters that actually have to fight the Fighters jacked up on PEDs and just say want a level playing field
