Trout binned as Canelo's opponent over drug test demands

To be fair USADA came out and refuting the claim that they don't do CIR testing. They've said they do.

My biggest problem with VADA is its ties to Victor Conte. As much as I think he's an invaluable resource for antidoping, I just wouldn't put anything past the guy. he's constantly criticising USADA and praising his friend's organisation VADA.

 

Conte has very suspect facial hair. I don't trust him.

 

I hadn't seen that. There we go then.

Cheers pal.

 

It seems that people can't agree on the colour of shite these days.

Didn't Arum want to use WADA rather than USADA, on the basis that the US body might be predisposed to ''favour'' Floyd (whatever that means) and that WADA would be neutral?

It's worse than the Haye/Klitschko farce over the nationality of the doctors in the corner :-(

In most walks of life credibility is of paramount importance... in boxing it's as if nobody gives a flying **** :-(

 

Agreed. As long as money is being made not much else matters.

 

Yet another excuse that will be toted out for good fights never eventuating.

 

Yeah I know, that's why I mentioned that Arum wanted (or said he wanted) to use WADA rather than USADA for the Pac/Floyd fight.

 

This is the problem when you don’t have one body governing the sport.

Imagine the Jamican sprint team refusing to undergo USDSA testing in favour of another body. (Or refusing entirely?) ridiculous.

 

You're got a point regarding the carbon isotope testing. But anti-drug testing is continuously evolving and since the Peterson debacle I'm sure the USADA will start using the carbon isotope test as standard.

Not sure exactly what happened with the Quilin fight. All the information seems to be coming from the fighters, who aren't the most reliable source. From what I understand the USADA agreed to conduct testing, then backed out because there wasn't enough time to inform the fighters on what they could take and what not?

 

Why would Jamaicans be tested by an American body? They'd be tested by the Jamaican equivalent that's affiliated to WADA if they were competing in Jamaica.

There is one major anti-doping body in America - USADA, they're the only one accredited by the WADA and are used by 99% of sports in America from archery to water polo.

But there's nothing stopping you me or any Yank creating a company that purports to conduct tests in the same way, or in any manner they wish.

If that's the case he's got no right to insist on something like that. He should have given a second sample.
