    NEWS BREAK: I want you guys to hear it from me first. I am NOT going to NYC for the presser this Thursday bc Rigo is backing off his agreement to VADA drug testing. Rigo's team verbally agreed to VADA testing both online and in negotiations. But now that the contract to start testing is infront of them, they are finding every excuse not to sign and delay the start of the testing. I have NOT signed my fight contract yet to fight him so I have no obligation to fight ONLY HIM. It disappoints me that top fighters these days run from everything that will hold professional boxing integrity to its highest standard. I will be looking into other opponents with my manager, Cameron Dunkin immediately.

    Sucks man, fight i was looking forward to most in the 1st 6 months of the year :-(

    Rigo has no excuse if he verbally agreed to testing.

    from rigos manager facebook page
    Just to put some clarity on the issues raised by Donaire regarding Rigo refusing to sign up for VADA testing. Rigo has never refused to sign up for VADA testing. I asked Top Rank lawyer Dan Pancheri today if he would send the VADA agreement in Spanish as Rigo does not undertsand English. I also asked that all substances given to Donaire by Victor Conte be sent to us so that we could have them checked out. I have just received the VADA agreement in Spanish and Victor Conte has agreed to send us all substances he is giving Donaire. Rigo will now sign the VADA agreement and Donaire should sign the bout contract. Donaire should not put anymore misleading posts on Twitter. Let's get it on Baby Rigo's time to show the world who's BOSS

    Donaire can be a whiny little **** sometimes. Jumping the gun and spreading stuff which isn't even true.

    It's sounds like he was expecting the contract to be signed and felt Rigo's team were stalling. If there was a reason for the delay, Rigo and his team should have shared that.

    Either way, Nonito is going to smash him to pieces.

    not really fair for rigo when donaire has conte working for him and doesnt conte work or did work with vada, its so ****ed up the whole fight game now when it comes to these extra tests and then you have people who are years ahead of these tests like conte and memo

    Donaire agreed to year round random testing. Conte works with all sorts of athletes under much stricter supervision than other nutritionists. Or are you suggesting Andre Ward is on the juice too?

    Your point makes no sense - Nonito is the one pushing for the testing.
