That could be the case. Or it could be the case that they're simply able to afford better drugs and better advisors. Or (shock of shocks) they could actually be clean. None of us will ever know unless those fighters test positive or someone leaks information about them to the media. You can't state categorically one way or another, and I don't see why people insist on doing so.
All the fighters who have big muscles and almost no fat, are nearly 100% clean with 0 drugs in their system. As it's been proven based on boxing science, that muscular people with big muscles and 6 packs can't have any illegal drugs in their system 99% of the time, as such fighters rarely ever get popped. Meanwhile, all the obese fat guys are the ones who should be questioned and be under scrutiny. Since it's proven to the contrary, that 99% of the time, obese fat guys are more likely to be on PED. So yes, big muscles and little fat = clean Small muscles and obese / very fat - unclean
Okay... I think we are trying to say the same thing here... That you are clean... if your tests come back clean... from VADA?
Nonito Donaire? He used to do year long VADA. This content is protected Seems like he is still doing it.
It carries itself as the "national" anti-doping agency, as recognized by US Congress... and they still have government affiliations as that is where part of their budget comes from. VADA is a lot more neutral...
I (cynically) used to think he was some sort of living advertisement for Victor Conte, but I've changed my mind about that. He was the first voluntary one, but there also are a lot of boxers that needed to sign up for 24/7 365 testing in their home countries or when under contract with some TV stations before him.
Fair play man but trust has to start somewhere... we can't live with tin foil hats permanently. If atheletes are calling for VADA, there must be some truth to it... USADA have a history of **** ups...
This isnt some tin foil hat brigade, these are facts. Face it we live in a time now where athletes can pay top chemists/doctors to get round these sorts of tests. That's just the truth of the matter. It's not just boxing it's rife in all sports and will continue to be
Not clean, simply eligible to compete. They might be clean or they might be dirty and simply haven't been caught yet. That's irrelevant to their status in their chosen sport though, and something none of us can know with any certainty, one way or another.
Pay them how much, out of how much they earn? Out of how much a promoter is willing to shell out? How much of a bribe is worth the risk of credibility for an anti-doping agency? Seems like quite the stretch, and if that's the case, you make bribing sound VERY affordable. When not all fighters are highly paid.
