    Smith has been made use vada by the wbc but the wbc has gave Hopkins an exemption and isn't being tested at all.

    I think Hopkins long career is amazing but this is a joke, why doesn't Hopkins have to do drug testing for the wbc

    If you haven't figured out yet VADA has a racial bias you're not paying attention to boxing

    If true, it sounds more like an age bias. If it's a racial bias then I am sure that you other examples to justify your remarks because there have been different races of people fighting each other for ages. Now there is only one case in modern times where a fifty one year old man is fighting a twenty seven year old man professionally.

    They busted Tony Thompson for f/n HCTZ FFS.

    Hopkins makes his opponents sign NDAs and has a medical exemption for testosterone replacement therapy...Pavlik blurted it out several yrs ago, as did Pascal, but I cant find links to the news. Each url says that the story does not exist??????

    He has been treated for hypo gonadism since before 2008!!!

    The ABCs accept his Drs regulating his levels and his opponents sign NDAs saying they won't speak of it.

    Because Hopkins has obviously been doping hard for more than a decade. He makes his opponents sign contracts not to bring it up. You can't fight at that level at that age without using banned substances. I don't care how much yoga you do, or how much kale you eat.

    Im still trying to figure out why you have never been banned permanently when you openly play the race card constantly. If I said, which I have, a 4th of the **** you sputter my Black ass would be gone. So the real racial bias is in BoxingForum24 in which Forza can say anything he wants and the mods ignore it.

    Im pretty sure the people who HAVE to enroll in VADA as obligated by the WBC are those ranked in the top 15.

    Hopkins, has been inactive so he wasn't obligated to enroll.

    Of course that doesn't mean that he couldn't have voluntarily done it

    From what I understand Hopkins has been at it a while! But has certain people on his team with plenty of $$

    The good ol' therapeutic use exemption. That's also one of the NFL's specialties to keep their guys juiced up while selling a squeaky clean image to fans so mom will let Junior play.

    fighting now for a wbc minor belt, so he should have to sign up for it, smith is. Hopkins got an exemption from the wbc for no specific reason, very very fishy

    Damn. That makes so much sense now, i just always ASSumed that any form of Trt therapy was illegal since it is an extremely effective PED.

    I wonder how many big money guys have a similar waiver/ contract going on?

    VADA technology cannot isolate alien DNA.

    Let's see....
    Anyone ever heard of D Hale Jr???
    Look him up.
    He was Floyds mentor through the ams, then they fell out, and Floyd suddenly disappeared from the ring for a spell.
    Hale becomes the nationwide leader in TRT clinics, and Floyd returns.
    Just sayin..... ;)

    Did Peterson and Berto turn white all of the sudden? Stupid ass comments on this board, so much race bait.
