    Marquez will fight Timothy Bradley in what could be a sensational battle for Bradley's WBO welterweight title on Oct. 12 in Las Vegas. But before he signed to fight Marquez, Bradley demanded that the fighters be drug-tested. He signed an agreement, as many fighters have, to be tested randomly by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency.
    Marquez, though, wasn't comfortable with VADA handling the testing and for a very understandable reason. BALCO founder Victor Conte is A) an extraordinarily outspoken proponent of VADA and B) an extraordinarily outspoken critic of Heredia's.

    Conte and Heredia battle on Twitter on an almost daily basis, much of which is for show since it's going to have no impact on the way either of them goes about their business.
    Marquez wanted to use USADA as the testing agency.

    Marquez was/is willing to be tested by VADA/USADA.
