Arum welcomes WADA testing for Pacquiao-JMM 5

*******s went full ******.

That sums it up nicely. But since *******s can no longer be found on ESB apparently, judging by how they are avoiding this thread like the plague we will never know what they think of this development.

 

BoxingInsider.com: Can you explain the relationship between WADA and USADA? From what I understand, USADA and WADA both are under the same umbrella of testing?

Annie Skinner: USADA has a close relationship with The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) but it’s important to understand that the organizations have different functions. WADA is essentially the standards setting authority and is extremely influential in anti-doping issues globally. Their Code and standards are considered the basis for the strongest anti-doping programs in sport, and more than 600 organizations have chosen to adhere to those strict standards including USADA. While WADA has set the bar for anti-doping testing internationally, the organization itself does not carry out testing services that an anti-doping organization does. USADA is the national anti-doping organization (NADO) recognized by Congress that provides comprehensive anti-doping testing services.

BoxingInsider.com: There have been many disputes in the media regarding the stance of Manny Pacquiao. Recently, his promoter Bob Arum suggested that Manny Pacquiao would accept testing, but while a portion of his training camp takes place in the Philippines, WADA would oversee everything. Is this a conflict of interest, or a commonality that shouldn’t be an issue?

Annie Skinner: USADA has the protocols in place to test an athlete who may be training or living for a period of time outside of the United States and regularly does so for U.S. athletes in the Olympic movement. If all parties agree to an anti-doping program conducted by USADA, the testing plan could be carried out regardless of an athlete’s location.

BoxingInsider.com: Are there any differences at all between testing methods of WADA and USADA?

Annie Skinner:Again it’s important to understand that WADA does not provide testing services the way that USADA or a state boxing commission does. WADA sets standards and USADA’s testing program is consistent with those standards.

 

As far as I know VADA is a private company that can be contracted like USADA were as WADA can only be used by athletic commissions who request their services

Could be wrong on that one

 

Appreciate the responses. Watching the Pac fight sparked me to post on General again. I've been out of the loop a bit. Paying attention but not caring.


Thanks Much Guys.

 

**** you Arum. You and your team threw a fit and told Floyd to **** off when he wanted random testing in '09. You know damn well it was a reasonable request and your latest green lighting of random testing proves it. SMH. Unbelievable. Just incredible.

Guess what? I used to think Floyd was a ***** for demanding a shitload of money. But now I say Team Pac needs to bend over for Floyd for not only failing to continue Pac's winning streak but acting like a bunch of rotten ****s.

 

I thought Pac was afraid of needles.

 

I'm a ******* and here i am, oh and i will always blame Mayweather more for the fight not happening

 

I think it's quite clear who killed the fight.

Arum.

 

arum is a ******ed *******. bake the cake, wada testing, wada doesnt even test. what a fuggin troll

 

Testing was never the issue.

He wasn't going to make the fight.

I would not be shocked if it comes out later in the years that Arum paid Mayweather off to complain about testing so that Arum didn't have to give up his cash cow.

(Not that Arum needed cash.. FFS)

 

This fight is already going to happen? Manny must really think he could win the rematch. If he loses two fights by knockout to JMM that would pretty much mean JMM won the series of fights. Manny should fight someone else, although at this point guys are going to be going for his chin and that straight right down the middle which JMM hit him with.

 

Why on earth wouldn't he of wanted to make the fight ? he's a promoter and it was one of if not the biggest and richest fight in history.

 

He's a douchebag.

He didn't want to make DLH-Mayweather, the biggest fight in history so far.

 

My how the mighty fall hard!!
