Andre Ward refuses to participate in VADA testing

You're right, he's under no obligation, but I wonder what happened to his stance of not to long ago????

At one point Ward was all for fairness and testing, wonder what happened?

His next opponent now Edwin Rodriguez is working with Victor Conte.

Ward at one point was associated with Victor Conte.

What must Victor Conte know that he advised Rodriguez to embarasss Ward and ask for PED testing after signing the fight ?


Ward doe'snt have to test VADA or USADA, but it aint going to look good when he does'nt, especially that he's been on record that he was for the testing. :deal

Yep! :deal

 

so if he did beat froch with one hand , why did they postpone the original fight-date because ward suffered a little scratch on his forehead during sparring (while wearing a padded helmet) ??? wouldnt a broken hand be more of a reason to delay the fight than a tiny scratch that might open up on fight night?

 

this is the truth boxing fans! :deal remember ward has been working with Victor Conte (old Victor is one of the biggest wizards in the performance enhancing drugs business)

In the UK this matchup would be a different scenario with a decent ref sorting things out :naughty . Its well known how prone Ward is to use questionable tactics..

(excessive holding/clinching, headbutts, elbows, armlocks,low blows) :blackeye

Ward is like a combination of Bernard Hopkins skillset and slickness & Andre Dirrell's alertness and footspeed all this along with the Sven Ottke
hometown record/ref/judges and loud (but kinda small) crowd

I dont think Ward is necessarily afraid, but i think he is a smart guy.. and he knows what will happen if he goes to the lions den :naughty

he cant keep going in circles so lets keep poking Ward and adressing the subject :boxx
..at some point (hopefully 2014) this fight will happen, im definitely going to watch it live just like i went to see Kessler II in 02

 

Ward has already had 2 surgerys in his career, Knee and now shoulder. Some roids would sure do him well. I cant prove it but i'm starting to think hes dirty. He went Conte's seminar on how to beat the USADA testing. But VADA is different isn't it?

 

He had a pretty bad gash above his brow, I remember seeing the photo. But I also wondered, how the **** did he get that with headgear on? lol

 

Based on the logic used by all the *****S, he is clearly on PEDs.

 

this is a none issue. . . people should just read Vivek's piece on the front page it breaks everything down. dumbass thread

 

Vada, like sanctioning fees, is just another money grab. If it was free, fine, but i wouldnt pay for it either

 

According to Edwin Rodriguez, VADA will be sponsoring it. Neither he or Andre Ward will have to pay a cent! :yep

 

sounds like testing wasn't part of the signed contract or negotiations. I tend to agree with Ward here, though I believe EVERY title fight should have mandatory testing.

 

i knew there was something fishy about ward

 

No wonder Ward will only fight in his home town with his personal referee and judges!

 

he just came off surgery...i bet some form of PED was used for recovery....its not out the realm
