    VADA are a farce. UKAD need a boxing arm that mirrors the level of testing but has the recourse to penalise fighters who cheat.

    They take enough fees, time to clean things up.

    Best way to cover up failed drugs tests is not to test in the first place.

    Do many journeymen get tested regularly?

    The biggest scandal is that it was Dave Allen fighting Frazer Clarke.

    Ultimately it's none of the promoters fault that UKAD have severe financial constraints and can't afford to test. Yes they could have paid for VADA testing, but to what end; there is only a tiny minority of people who pay attention to this stuff, and I doubt the promoters are particularly bothered by a bit of criticism on boxing forums.

    Isn’t there by far enough money in the PPV fights to have someone testing all fighters on the card numerous times a day, every day for 10-12 weeks? They may have trouble with that famous TBA though.

    Matchroom rightly learned some valuable lessons over the Benn saga

    It's great they are now pushing ahead with more testing

    However I firmly believe that if they were not doing so the OP wouldn't be starting these threads
