Pacquiao 'agrees to Mayweather's demands'

Not that many actually do, but you obviously don't understand the hierarchy of how the judicial and legislation systems works in the US. The other thing you fail to realize is that Arum is a Harvard graduate and is board a certified Lawyer with experience in the USDJ otherwise you wouldn't be calling him stupid. Typically legal terms are specifically designed to be vague so that it leaves room for interpretation from each side of an argument.

The use of USADA or WADA as a third parties to administer anti-doping testing of a specif event is not the same thing. Arum point is valid. USADA and WADA are completely different organizations, they have different goals as organizations and exist due to different circumstances. WADA's funds are basically guaranteed, while USADA's funds could end at the next grant decision.

Wow, yeah I've no idea how the judicial system works particularly on an English common-law principle which both our countries use. I'm well aware that Arum studied law at Harvard, it gets mentioned in every other article about him. But, clearly you're quite protective of Cuddly Ol' Unkie Bob, so would you rather I substitute stupid (which imo has no relation to somebody's educational achievements) with lying? Corrupt? Filthy? Let me know which one is appropriate.

You're second paragraph is similarly vague. They are different organisations, but are their goals really different? They both seem to be heavily in the ethos of preventing cheating in sport. Sounds like the same goal to me. The point is that if Arum gives the contract to WADA, they will simply assign it to USADA as the designated NADO for the US. You're talking about funds & how they exist to fudge the issue, but you're not saying why WADA are ok, but USADA are somehow corrupt?

I could not agree more that Bob is a corrupt lying greedy man.

Arum already stated he has reservations about USADA's travis tygart. Where have you ever heard an Athlete refereed to as "the clean athlete"? That actually implies other Athlete(s) are dirty. If he had said "He has always tested clean" or "He never tested positive" it wouldn't imply anything. I don't care what agency does testing it's all redundant anyway because NSAC does just fine. Now when you have to prove your worth to congress in order to survive financially vs just concentrate on implementing policy, I'd say they have different goals. WADA is a staple organization not having to worry about budget.

I'd also say when you have to ask for twice the annual grant as a budget to go after high profile athletes, you have altered your agenda. (They started with an initial two million dollar grant budget 2002.) Every athlete should be treated exactly the same when it comes to testing and prosecuting. They sound like some high priced attorney looking to make a name not an anti-doping agency.
