    I personally think they are all jucing.

    One day whatever they are taking is not on the banned list and the next day it is.

    VADA does year-round random testing. A fighter can agree to VADA testing as part of the conditions for a specific fight, in which case they would only be tested in the months leading up to that fight. Or they can also voluntarily enroll in VADA’s year-round testing program, which I believe is the case with Usyk (boxrec and the VADA website both list him as being a voluntarily enrolled athlete).

    You mean the year round testing program boxers like Canelo and Ortiz can dip in and out of to suit their needs? If you can opt out of it when you like it really isn't year round testing.

    You can see the date range that a fighter has been enrolled in the VADA program. If they leave the program for any length of time, you will have visibility into that. I will pull up Usyk’s VADA data later this afternoon when I have some more free time.

    I don't really suspect Usyk to be honest. Maybe he's doping just like anyone else but there's nothing to really suggest he is either.

    He's a technical fighter for one, he doesn't rely on physical attributes alone, he's not had any sudden big physical changes and being a top amateur he would of been through extensive Olympic level testing.

    Having said that if he moves up to heavy and suddenly is 30lbs heaver and ripped to shreds then alarm bells would be ringing. But right now, he's clean in my eyes.

    IDK why people have such trouble with this. The hopes of an entire nation are at work to ensure Jushua's success' as a boxer. They dragged him kicking and scremaint to that Gold medal in London, of all palces. Now they do everything in their powers to keep him at the top of pro HW, including manipulation of drug testing.

    Why peop;e claim faking drug testing is akin to faking the moon landing but all you need is a couple testing officials in on it and their is far too much money at stake for Joshua to fail.

    FFS USADA caught Mayweather with an illegal I.V. and did nothing. VADA actaully tested and caught Clenelo twice but the athletic commission gives an unprecedented ban of 6 months when a minimum of 9-24 are mandated in it's laws.

    When will you guys catch on that A side boxers with powerful promoters, athletic commissions and even nations working for them will be given every advantage legal or otherwise. But according to the imbecile, bigot brigade; it is bland, unknown fighters from war torn, economically depressed, E.E. crap holes that are getting all the advantages and doing all the doping despite most being VADA tested 24/7.

    Talk about ignorance colliding with xenophobia.

    Yeah the whole USADA Mayweather situation really high lighted the problem with boxing and doping control in the US. Because USADA usually gains funding from agreements with sporting bodies to test their athletes there's usually a conflict of interest. But with boxing it's even worse because there is no single governing body in boxing in the US to pay USADA so instead they usually have agreements with commissions or even promoters and with Mayweather being is own promoter he basically had a personal agreement for his own testing where he could stipulate his own conditions including the fact he could get retroactive TUE's at his own discretion. USADA even agreeing to do this was ethically wrong.

    VADA testing in the US is an improvement from the existing system which is quite frankly pointless and not fit for purpose in regards to boxing. But VADA is nothing like real 365 testing as you can opt in and out of testing unlike in other countries where similar testing is compulsory all year round.

    MMA fighter Jon Jones failed his 3rd doping violation and that comes with an automatic 4 year suspension yet USADA is bring him back in like 18 months. Ruslan Magomedov fails his first doping violation and USADA gave him the full 24 months maximum.

    Is Jon Jones fighting again??? I thought he was supposed to get like banned for four years. Why on earth would they let him fight and make millions of dollars again with all his past infractions?? Gee Wiz! And I thought VADA was a legit testing force.


    Also did that pregnant woman he crashed into before running off through people’s backyards recover fully from her injuries? Was the baby ok? I don’t really keep up with MMA I just remember hearing a bunch of really terrible Jones stories through these past 4 years.

    Dana White got together with that disgusting little,Q-Tip headed, corrupt, scummy freak Bob Bennett and the remaining 31 omnths of Jones mandatory suspension mysteriously went away.
