Matchroom VADA Testing, other Promoters?

Thats what i am saying only 18 fights across the board, when its lower level guys who are probably on it more than the elites because the latter already done it or like you said are better at it

 

It would be good to break the link between the funding and the tests. By which I mean that part of the problem with the additional testing is that it's paid for by the promoter and therefore that's where the reports are sent. A levy on British boxing that was ring fenced for UKAD testing would ensure that the testers weren't working for one of the interested parties.

For this to work however UKAD testing would have to be enhanced, at present it seems they're not picking up on the things VADA are finding?

 

Only way we sort the drug problem in boxing is 24/7 testing....but the reality is that unless its externally funded it will never be brought in.

Maybe the top organisations should insist on it for all top 30 fighters.....or top 20 at least.

 

Failed UKAD years ago and VADA twice.

 

This is a WBC ranked fight yes? So should they not be doing it?

 

Whether or not a world title is at stake should be immaterial, ranking also, otherwise we'll get doping up and until someone reaches world level, disadvantaging the champions. In any case we all understand that belts mean little in this 4 title era, so why make them the criteria for a decent level of oversight?

It needs to be properly funded, randomised, impartial and independent. There needs to be sufficient testing in place to increase the risk of cheating to the extent that people conclude it's not worth the risk.

How do we get there? Pros and cons to the different approaches, but some kind of levy, maybe via the BBoC license could address the funding side?

 

My point was if UKAD are so rubbish how did he fail their tests but pass VADA versus Rivas.

 

People throwing shade at Matchroom over recent drug testing outcomes are completely missing the point.

At least they are properly testing all there fighters.

 

Pointless if they ignore the outcome when it suits them.

 

exactly...

Don't waste your time on matchroom shills though you're banging your head on a brick wall

 

Look we just want to watch some fights. We don't care if they're all on gear. It didn't matter when Iron Mike was in his pomp taking the **** literally with his whizzer so it shouldn't matter now either.

 

They can test their fighters 7 days a week and twice on Sundays but it's worthless if they viciously go after the organisations who have the temerity to return positive results to their A side fighters.

Quite apt from Jr..
