    Why does he not have a right?

    Why should Wright give a 2nd sample?

    ALL samples, including Quillians, had been destroyed.

    When athletes commit to anti doping programmes, they contractually agree to giving as many samples as required in a specified time frame.

    Yes - and they did.

    USADA started the process and took samples from both fighters. Then they suddenly announced they wouldn't be continuing the testing. Wright inquired why, and asked for both fighters samples be tested. This was when he was told that they'd been destroyed.

    It was not linked to a refusal to provide more samples. Wright wanted to continue the testing that USADA had started, then stopped.

    I know all that.

    but you are saying he had no right to demand anything.

    Wright had a right to be suspicious when he was informed that the samples both he and Quillan had given had been destroyed.

    I agree.

    Even if Quillin had nothing in his system, frankly it's ridiculous that they'd take the samples and then not bother.

    I'm not sure why the commissions can't simply implement this level of testing, and bypass the agencies, in all honesty - or why people can't be just that - HONEST!!

    The problem in boxing is that there's always an A-side and a B-side, the A-side is the A-side and the B-side is expendable.... someone else will always agree to fill in on A's terms.

    Personally speaking, I wouldn't want my reputation being muddied by antics from my promoter trying to wield power over someone else, assuming I was clean of course.

    Haggling over who does what for me is worse than flat out refusing, I'll agree to testing but only if X does it. Sure pal, ok :lol:
