    What? That is exactly what Arum said. He said testing should be done by WADA instead of USADA.

    The point is the USADA is contract by the WADA.. The USADA is trusted by the WADA to conduct test, in fact the WADA contract the USADA to handle their test. do you see the paradox here.. Who else in the USA is going to conduct the test any higher then the USADA .. It make no since, and it make no since in arum trying to discredit the USADA who the WADA puts full trust in to handle their test.

    Arum is doing nothing but blowing smoke why even make this an issue if you agree to testing. He should just stfu and agree to testing period or say we don't want it.

    well, Arum is the biggest bullshitter in boxing right now.

    98% of what ARum's has said in the last 4-5 years has been proven to be nothing but LIES.:smoke

    Nah he already agreed to 50-50, PPL thought this was the biggest problem and he agreed to all of it. Pac just didnt take the drug test almost 2 years ago. Now hes backed on the ropes with no where to go

    Schaefer, Mayweather's promoter has already been quoted saying it doesn't matter what agency does the testing.

    These idiots are just pulling straws

    Perhaps you didn't understand , the usada is the only testing facility in the US that follows the WADA testing to the letter.. USADA is only facility that WADA trust to handle testing in the US that I know of .. but yet ARUM stats he wants the WADA to handle the test.. ? :huh

    So if a boxing commission decided to follow the WADA code and do the testing you would have a problem with that?

    So... basically Arum will only accept testing done by the WADA, not the USADA, despite the fact that USADA are contracted and trusted by the very organization that Arum wants to the testing done by. A paradox indeed.

    It's a big deal because it slows down the process which has been ongoing for 2 yrs - that's wayyy too long. We do not need another road block which seems to duplicate each time one is placed on the negotiation table. The final hurdle is Floyd's drug test demand which should be followed according to his wish. USADA is part of the package which team Pac has to accept in order to make the fight happen. They have to buy the ENTIRE package. Bits and parts of it are not for sale. What if Floyd all of a sudden says they can penalize him ten million dollars if he breaks their rule but if he beats Pac he gets every penny back? That sort of thing should be immediately dismissed because it is not conducive to forward movement. When negotiations have already been exhausted and you want something done you don't ask questions or waste time trying to bargain. Stiffen up your lip and get it done. Simple.

    Don't you find it ridiculous that Arum expects everyone to have faith in the standard testing system which has proven to be outdated and flawed yet all of a sudden he loses trust in USADA which doesn't have a history of problems??
