    VADA is widely considered the gold standard in drug testing, not just with boxing but across all sports. The fact that they are a private company makes it more likely that they will not fall victim to internal corruption. They have a profit motive to maintain the public’s trust, or else their business will dry up. A government-run testing agency, on the other hand, is much more susceptible to corruption.

    Miller was prob juicing and I’m not saying USADA is a reputable organization, but UKAD is prob as trustworthy as boxing’s scoring in UK. Joshua lost 2-3 fights in London olympics , but still got his gold medal .
    I still can’t forget kovalev vs cleverly and when british referee carried cleverly to his corner .
    Now Joshua looks and I’m sure he is as juiced up as it gets , but you brits believe he is just a genetic freak and his gh gut is nothing more than his “super” abs.

    Some people suggesting that Matchroom bought off VADA! Give me a break. Honestly, there’s some special people on here.

    So, just to clarify, Matchroom picked a voluntary (yes, a voluntary) who has seemingly cherry picked his way to a title fight. And the guy he’s fighting has fought the likes of Wlad, Povetkin, Parker and Whyte.

    Anyhow, back on track; so Matchroom have sabotaged their own event to avoid this guy?

    After it's all said and done, Miller's lifetime earnings won't come close to what he just lost out on.
    Unless he gets another golden opportunity like he just had.

    VADA are not the gold standard among all sports, where did you get that idea. VADA was created by a bunch of doctors linked to boxing such as Dr Margaret Goodman a name you should recognise as it's been announced many times as the ring side doctor of fights in Vegas. VADA is a testing organisation aimed at Boxing and MMA only, they do not test athletes in other sports.

    VADA is the gold standard in the US only and that's because what existed before in the US in terms of testing for boxers was next to nonexistent. In other countries it's impartiality would be questioned as VADA is funded by the boxers requesting the testing unlike other countries which have impartial testing organisations which are government funded and so have no conflict of interest.

    I think Hearn has contractual obligations to Miller.
    Miller has some name value.
    And Matchroom has been grooming Miller for a while now.

    I don't see Matchroom ditching Miller, makes no financial sense.

    That's technically incorrect on most accounts. Every entity in the anti-doping process is contracted. The laboratories are separate from the USADA/WADA/VADA and are their own entities. Labs maintain their accreditation from WADA. The actual testers are another separate entity, not employed by USADA/WADA/VADA. There are professional collection companies employing phlebotomist that do collections.

    Now what separates VADA from USADA/WADA is that they were established to work outside the confines and corruption that's impaired USADA. Not sure you guys realize this. Their whole existence is to catch dopers. And when they were founded it was because Don Catlin did not trust USADA. Why would the premiere scientist in the world in this field choose not to head the science dept for USADA or WADA?

    So Povetkin was a shameless cheat and Miller - who has previously failed another drugs test - is the victim of a conspiracy? Am I having this right?

    Does anyone actually care about Miller anymore ? he has drowned now and good riddance , when a boxer does that I just don't care about them anymore . The US HW are an absolute disgrace right now , AJ is reigning MSG without firing a blow and every American HW is confirmed dodging him . FFS it's MSG with 4 belts and no American is stepping up .

    Miller now a confirmed fake bum.
    Ortiz now a confirmed fake bum.
    Kownacki now a confirmed fake bum.
    Wilder now a confirmed fake bum.

    Sad times when Martin , Breazeale and Hunter are the only pride of US HW boxers .
