Watch the video again, she says that she isn't qualified to discuss on what USADA doesn't do. But, obviously they have extensive program and that they are the gold standard in testing and have been for a long time.

Now what said in this video to make you think that USADA is trash?

i've always thought USADA was trash....this video convinced me even more coz of dr goodman's hesitation to comment on USADA and when conte said " no, floyd jr testing is not effective" , she said " yeah" (watch it again if you missed it)..

WADA doesn't conduct testing, USADA does. USADA conducts testing based off WADA protocol. So basically all Wada does is oversee testing conducted by anti-doping agencies like USADA.

"WADA does not have the infrastructure to actually conduct testing themselves. They don't have what we call 'Doping Control Officers' that specifically work for them to go out and perform the tests as USADA does. Typically what will happen if WADA was ever to decide they wanted to have somebody tested, they would work with the anti-doping organization in whichever country or area that that testing would be conducted by...I think it's really important to understand that WADA certainly oversees, internationally, the programs that happen, but the actual implementation of tests is usually conducted by the Anti-Doping Organizations for that country," stated Annie Skinner, Media Relations Manager of the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA), who gave us details on how USADA works on behalf of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in order to conduct the international anti-doping policies and procedures created by the organization. What may come as a surprise to some, WADA does not actually implement their own testing policies, but instead they utilize the many different anti-doping agencies in each nation to conduct their international standards for testing. Check out what else she had to say regarding USADA's relationship with WADA and how it relates to Bob Arum's recent comments regarding Olympic-style random drug testing.

He says that the title "olympic testing" isnt accurate that it is just "random blood testing" and then Margaret says "yea, but it's just a name"
