Why can't VADA be the standard for all fighters?

    Why doesn't the boxing world and all of its fighters use VADA for drug testing for all fights?

    It seems like VADA catches the most cheats than any other testing body like USADA, etc. They're the most strict, comprehensive and consistent with testing.

    So why not make them the only drug testing body in boxing?
    Wouldn't it be much more simpler to have one really good organization for drug testing instead of several others.

    It almost seems like that if a fighter doesn't wanna get caught with something, all he has to do is simply not take VADA, just go to another organization like USADA or what ever fly by night testing body. Just like Canelo not taking VADA for his Smith fight. In my mind, drug testing is not strict enough in the boxing world. It's like boxers get a pass all the time for not getting tested.

    Because there is no boxing LEAGUE or governing body. Everyone can do what they want.

    Yes this. So many splintered sanctioning bodies, commissions, promoters etc, it would be impossible to get everyone to agree a standard.

    There is no evidence whatsoever that VADA is more strict or better than USADA or enhanced NSAC testing. The mere fact that a few boxing "journalists" run de facto PR for the agency doesn't change this.

    Just wait until next week and see which name fighters suddenly stop fighting for WBC belts, now they have intruduced year round random testing. Or the ones that suddenly perform significantly less.

    Many fighters invading the pro ranks are Russian/Ukraine, and Russian/Ukraines don't like no drug testing UNLESS it is a Russian agency cobbled together to hide the results of their testing.

    VADA is voluntary and Russian fighters don't voluntarily sign up to be exposed for the drug cheats they are.

    Naturally skilled and gifted athletes think that drugs are bad, but the inferior, non-gifted athletes like Russians think that drugs are the best thing since Beet soup. Russia needs an agency like Alcoholics Anonymous but for habitual PED use. The whole country is affected.

    There is nowhere more corrupt than Vegas, NSAC & USADA. It is obvious USADA can be bought just look at Mayweathers career

    Reminder: Russia was the ONLY country BANNED from competing in the Olympics because of their nation wide cheating. I mean, the whole dam country was banned, not just a few.

    Google Exum Wade and Carl Lewis American Olympic Committee doping cover ups and shut the fock up you inferior midget. Russia's ban in track and field was political in nature. Not everyone benefited from corrupt bribery cover ups those that did were mentioned in the McLaren report.

    Also the only evidence against them are allegations, officials were pocketing cash to hide drug tests (supposedly), 90 percent of those that benefited were track athletes and weightlifters.

    LOL, you can't come up with something a little more recent than 25 years ago?

    Fact: The whole country of Russia is BANNED from international competition for habitual cheating. Not one (1) track star like Lewis, or one (1) track star like Marion whatsherface, but the whole dam country! The whole country of Russia are cheaters and BANNED from competition.
    Give it up because no other nation in the world has been banned like Russia. None.

    The American Olympic Committee has been covering up drug tests from their world class athletes since its inception, Carl Lewis and Exum Wade even testified that athletes were part of a system that allowed them to compete despite having taken PED's, these are all facts (it was ALL of America's top Olympic athletes that were allowed to compete despite PED usage) . The WADA did not exist at that time period, also no country in that time period had enough political influence to ban the United States. These doping cover ups were occurring during the 80's and 90's, until the WADA took over drug testing through USADA. Russia was banned in track and field because of politics, the WADA is heavily influenced and dominated by the United States, all it took are allegations to ban the Russian track team.
