    At one point Floyd seemed to have USADA in his back pocket, but which is the best drug testing agency in boxing?

    VADA — the one Floyd and Marquez swerved and the one that caught Clenelo.

    Honestly neither because in relation to boxing neither are 24/7, 365 days per year random testing. Honestly to be caught doping in the US you have to be an idiot.

    USADA as the Mayweather situation highlighted are forced to adhere to conditions set by the promoter who obviously has a conflict of interest as there is no single independent body for them to be contracted too like other sports.

    VADA is nothing more than PR to convince the public boxing cleaned up it's act, as it's not random testing year round and fighters can opt in and out of testing as they please. I honestly don't think boxing in the US is really significantly cleaner in regards to doping than it was in the 90's. Sure they actually test now but the testing protocols are pathetic.

    The one that catches more people doping. We need a list comparing how many fighters each has caught. From memory it seems like VADA has caught about 10 for every 1 that USADA has caught.

    Itz gotta be USADA with how they never allow ped mask ups, no IV's especially before the fight occurs n always informs the other party of the infringement

    they definitely don't let u test positive on your a n b sample n if u do they immediately let the promoters n fighters know whet occurred

    Add in with how theyre able to catch most athletes n never settle for being bribed for disclosing information or losin test samples with their high level integrity

    Hands dwn

    I think USADA covered up Floyds IV cheating. He is like Lance Armstrong. A hypocrite on a crussade who only used it to stack the deck further in his favour. Or do you actually believe he struggled to make 147?
    So USADA is definitly out.
