Comments Thread For: WBC Reveal List of Boxers Not Enrolled in VADA Testing

Spence can and should have fought in a WBC eliminator
Better to have options

The WBC told Top Rank to see if Bradley is interested in fighting Spence for the WBC eliminator. No word back from Bradley yet.

A lot of talent not using VADA. Not a good look at all for these guys.

how many of the fighters listed not using VADA are, instead, using USADA (the actual standard for testing procedure in the US); the testing protocol also only being a rule of the WBC (not currently observed by their partners at the WBA and IBF or by the WBO/IBO/WBU/etc) complicates things as well.

I know that folks want to ignore the history, but VADA has Brandon Rios piss into an open cup, that then came back flagged, because of an ingredient typically found in energy drinks.

No other sport in the world relies on VADA for their testing procedure.

interesting why are they allowed to not be tested and also i thought donaire has always been on year round testing?

[Scipio2009]

Lots of British fighters

BBBoC apparently has a stricter testing profile than VADA currently has to begin with.

Kovalev has only just entered the rankings, he wasn't in the rankings before because he held other Orgs titles. Which is the reason Jacobs isn't on the list, he has the WBA "Regular" title.

Kovalev did do VADA testing for the Ward fight i believe. It's unfair to call him out on not doing testing.

i thought kovalev got a pass on that already tho. for example they made him stevensons mandatory already even tho he was holding other belts. pretty sure its nothing new as they have been trying get stevenson kov to fight for awhile

Poventkin is not here?

Learn something new everyday. Will definitely change perspective

Kovalev did VADA for his last three fights if I recall correctly, calm down.

Jacobs had never done VADA, and the WBC had to make a tweet because people were asking if Jacobs would do VADA or not, and when. And Jacob's team was banning people from social networks for asking about it.

So there goes your "without evidence".

According to the WBC he isnt enrolled in VADA. And I don't see Jacobs on that list. Therefore he must be enrolled. Where's your evidence that he isn't enrolled? Gimme sources. I need them. Blocking someone on social media isn't evidence of someone not being enrolled in VADA. You're fkin ******ed. But we already knew that.

He isn't enrolled in VADA. He's doing VADA testing because he has a fight with Golovkin. He started this week.

We doubted because he was blocking people. Also the WBC had to clarify with a tweet... Jacobs' team wasn't responding. So the fight was announced more than 1 month ago but he just started VADA this week.

He's not enrolled with VADA because he's not in the WBC MW rankings you fool:

Guys like Lomachenko haven't done VADA either as far as i know.
