Does this change the fact he cheated to get the GGG rematch delayed so he'd have a better chance of winning?

The VADA 24/7/365 tests more than both of those programs
It all seems to be stuff of this nature:

After leaving the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program, Erislandy Lara has requested to join the WBA’s Fair Boxing Program, which includes VADA’s 365 testing.
EDIT: There's this from Fat Dan, but he's just as short on detail as everyone else:

24/7/365 VADA program is far more rigorous than WBC Clean Boxing Program (which VADA also oversees).
VADA should keep a running list of what tests have been performed, when, and the results. They did release a coupla quarterly lists after the CPB started but I ain't seen anything since.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 05-29-2019, 02:45 PM.

Bro....is he setting an example by failing PED tests....failing 2 to be exact? LMFAO
Canelo is such a good example, he is showing young fighters how to cheat with PEDs and get away with it...breh

Is there like a specified minimum # of tests they do on 365 or something perhaps?
Not saying by any stretch it ain't a positive thing, but last I checked CPB and 24/7 were full of holes. It's good he's doing it but the whole damn system needs tightening up.
Oh yeah - and all fighters under the jurisdiction of the BBBoC are subject to year round 24/7 random as far as I know, though once again, it's a very long way from being a reliable means of catching all offenders.
I don't even think the WBC has been super clear on what exactly they are doing & not doing.
Randomly I did hear one fighter (don't recall who doe) talking about the WBC program & he said they were super helpful with telling him what he could & couldn't take which is very un-OST agency-like from what I know about how the USADA & VADA approach things. Which I do think is good with steering people in the right directions, but you gotta do more testing.

I believe you CAN be tested 24/7/365 with the WBC, but they aren't testing nearly enough from the sounds of it.

Regardless, unless I missed a release (which ain't unlikely cos I ain't got the time I used to) they stopped releasing the lists of what tests had been done after the first year or so.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 05-29-2019, 03:00 PM.

First year or so of the CPB they released a coupla post dated quarterly lists of which boxers had been tested, but being the sort of pedantic mfer I am I ran through a coupla of the lists to compare 'em to fight dates and it turned out that almost without exception the tests carried out were on fighters with upcoming fights.. ie it was basically just 'in competition' testing which was typically paid for under the terms of fight contracts. Couple that with a few other reports from VADA and other sources about funding difficulties and the cost of testing and the story built up that essentially the funding just wasn't there to make the program effective.
