    "As part of the contract for any fight with Joshua, we ensure that both fighters are subject to 16 weeks of VADA testing.....That's on top of UKAD, who randomly test all fighters in the UK.

    There's a major issue America has right now, and it isn't helped by all the different commissions which do not work together. That's why UKAD is great, it's the only organisation which actively supports random testing."


    It's a great point. It makes little sense for independant commisions, e.g. Nevada state, to prove that their fighters are cheating, as it would reduce the tests they would have to do, reducing their income.

    Proving a boxer is cheating = Ban = Less fights +Less tests = Less income for the commission.

    there are always peds they cannot detect with a test. thus why Lance Armstrong never failed a test. in spite of his sport doing everything under the sun to catch him.

    That's a nice smokescreen. Joshua and his team know how to play the game.

    Uh huh. Hope they keep the samples for ten years so someday we find out what Joshua is on.

    Never trust anything british. Joshua clearly lost his first fight in olympics, he lost two more later, but still became a gold medal winner, so stfu with british testing , or anything else british . I’m certain joshua is roiding , but british “testing” will never reveal that.

    top notch roids are always undetectable. far more money in developing new ones than in devising tests for them.

    WRONG. He was busted a couple times but then since he had collusion with the UCI, he was able to make magical TUEs appear. That's why no one ever heard of his positives. However, by stating that beating the tests is how he never failed a test shows you know very little of how his apparatus worked.

    He never directly beat testing. He paid/donated large sums of money so he would always know in advance when testing would happen so he could be prepared like with an IV and someone to squeeze the ever living **** out of the IV bag. Other ways he beat the test was to NEVER take the test with his own *hot samples, like with a whizzer, etc.

    And another way is when you know testers are coming and you know you are pissing hot. You have 3, make that 2 chances to avoid the testers. That means make up some BS excuse do not show up for testing. Then wait till your pee comes up cool, and get tested. There's many ways around the logistics of testing. Easiest way is if you are pissing hot as hell just flash them your TUE card. No one will even know because the TUE protects you under medical protections. Just ask Mayweather.

    *I should prolly add that how this worked is they would bag their own clean pee, freeze. Then when it came time, they'd thaw it and load it into the whizzer. Voila, they just beat the system, NOT the test.

    Yes, I am sure that Joshua and his opponents are testing PEDs every day!

    Not true, Armstrong did actually fail tests, he failed 4 during the 99 Tour De France, but basically the governing body the UCI covered it up. He got a retroactive TUE like Mayweather did for his IV when he failed his first test. Then when he was retested in 2005 he failed 3 more tests but of course Armstrong wasn't banned til 2012.

    Armstrong was too big a name in cycling much like Mayweather is too big a name in boxing and Clenelo is too big now as well. Governing bodies that are not answerable to anyone can be too easily corrupted to serve their own purposes.

    UKAD are government funded and answerable to the British government. While they are far from perfect, partly due to under funding, they have no real interest in protecting a sports person from a specific sport as they have no vested interest in that sports success as their funding doesn't come from that said sport and they watch over countless sports not just the one.
