    The issue is not a testing agency, its federalizing the sport of boxing in fifty states. Why does the continent of Europe not come together like you propose? Easier said than done.

      Whyte timed his cycle with Vada perfectly because they paid for it and knew when it will start "random" testing and the VADA testing for this fight started late notice how late they officially announced Whyte v Rivas

        They already do it for amateur boxing and countless other sports. Why would the states be against having testing taken out of their hands? Makes no sense. Comparing a country to a continent is ******. Testing would be easily changed in the US if fans made enough noise about it.

          I don't know if you ever looked at a map Robbie, but you can fit Germany, UK, and France into Texas. You failed to understand the point. Try passing laws that would force all those territories to comply with the rules and standards of a single doping agency 365 days a year.

          You guys would probably go to war again.

            They already do it for a lot of sports, so your argument makes no sense.

            Again comparing a country to a continent is ******.

              USADA is similar to UKAD in that it is a centralized testing agency; It's not a state testing agency but a national testing agency. They mostly regulate amateur athletes though until the UFC recently hired them to test their fighters.

                  I believe that VADA had a much earlier cut-off date than UKAD; Which was why Dillian was able to slip through the cracks. In any case, I have to agree that VADA dropped the ball on this one.

                    VADA caught Miller (who had fights in the UK and UKAD testing did not catch).

                      and? UKAD weren't testing him for the fight he was caught. If you're going to make a point, make a relevant one.
