    After initially only releasing the name of Verdejo, the WBC has now released the complete list of who where removed from their rankings for not enrolling to their Clean Boxing Program for year round testing by VADA.
    There are a couple of usual suspects on there of course, and a couple that stand out, but there's also one that has alreasy tried to reverse the WBC's decision to remove him from his mandatory position.
    Amir Khan's team has already contacted the WBC that they want to enroll anyway, and try to get the mandatory position to Garcia's belt back.

    I myself think it's good the WBC released a complete list, because otherwise people would have extrapolated their own list, comparing the old and new rankings, while then names would have been on that who were removed due to inactivity, being surpassed and things like that.

    David Haye – England – Heavyweight
    Jean Pascal – Canada – Light Heavyweight
    Jose Uzcategui – Venezuela – Super Middleweight
    Gabriel Rosado – USA – Middleweight
    Vanes Martirosyan – Armenia – Super Welterweight
    Daquan Arnett – USA – Super Welterweight
    Amir Khan – England – Welterweight*
    Lamont Peterson – USA – Welterweight
    Rances Barthelemy – Cuba – Super Lightweight
    Felix Verdejo – Puerto Rico – Lightweight
    Emiliano Marsili – Italy – Lightweight
    Henry Lundy – USA – Lightweight
    Yuriorkis Gamboa – Cuba – Super Featherweight
    Hairon Socarras – Cuba – Featherweight
    Cesar Juarez – Mexico – Super Bantamweight
    Edivaldo Ortega – Mexico – Super Bantamweight
    Emanuel Navarrete – Mexico – Bantamweight
    Gideon Buthelezi – South Africa – Flyweight
    Brian Viloria – USA – Flyweight
    Moises Calleros – Mexico – Light Flyweight
    Javier Mendoza – Mexico – Flyweight
    Angel Acosta – Puerto Rico – Light Flyweight
    Janiel Rivera – Puerto Rico – Minimumweight
    Carlos Buitrago – Nicaragua – Minimumweight
    Simphiwe Khonco – South Africa – Minimumweight

    One thing to consider here is that I think (just a guess!) the fighters have to pay the VADA costs themselves. If that is correct then it is understandable one would only partake in the program if a fighter has a prospect of fighting for a WBC title in the near future. Otherwise why pay VADA $25k a year to get tested?

    We would need a program where all sanctioning organizations agree on VADA testing and mitigate the costs for fighters. It needs to be "free" to get tested. Why don't the sponsors hop on, guys like Nike/Adidas/Gatorade etc. They have an interest for a clean sport.

    Wasn't Khan mandatory for Garcia?
    Bit of a silly move for Khan if so, i think a Khan Vs Swift rematch would have sold well and was probably his second best payday available at the moment behind Brook.
    Do you think we will now see Khan cash out against Brook next year then retire after the inevitable KO loss?
    I hope so as boxing needs to rid itself of all these glass mandibles and duckers for good.
    In 2017 we need to see epic KO losses for.
    1. Khan
    2. Price
    3. Joshua
    4. Wilder
    5. Canyellow (his chin will be china if he fights GGG)
    6. Scott (coming in 2016 vs King Kong)
    7. Kid Chocolate
    8. Broner
    Plus anymore china chins you want to add.

    Who pays for this testing, the WBC or the fighters?

    I believe the fighters have to.
    So, that gives the lower weightclasses and lesser names a good excuse not to fight for the WBC anymore, but for the bigger earners and certainly highly ranked guys it's quite telling.

    Exactly, the lower weight guys are lucky to make 50k a year, so if they're paying for this program out of their own pockets, it's a rip off.

    A lot of names on that list are journeymen or shopworn fighters already on their way out, so it's understandable that they choose not to participate.

    News involving the U.K. Fighters, Khan has enrolled now, I don't believe Haye will.

    Have to tip my hat to the WBC, they are obviously serious about this program, how effective it will be I have no idea but it's a start and I'm sure it can fine tuned over time and I'm sure other governing bodies will have to do something similar.

    No real point unless he wants to go the WBC route to a shot. If he ever wanted to change his mind it would be an easy enough obstacle to overcome.

    Yeah maybe, depends how the WBC work it, I have no idea, I would think you'd have to be on the program for a period of time before you would get ranked and be eligible to fight for a WBC title or nobody would sign up.

    But like I say, I really don't know how they are going to work it over time.

    This is indeed the case, also to make it an even and fair playing field.
    The whole thing with year round random drugtesting is that you can't cycle off easily and never know when tested. If you just start a couple weeks in advance, then you get the same half assed testing we had for years in boxing.
