Andre Ward has refused to participate in the VADA testing

[Rantcatrat]

Ward said today that he's refusing to take the test because it wasn't in their contract.

But you'd think the so-called "Son of God" would do it for the good of the sport. It won't cost him anything and it would make a statement to the public that he's clean.

Why does he have to make this statement?

You're missing the point with all due respect. He is under NO contractual obligation to do it. Therefore, he does NOT have to do it. He should voluntarily do it, especially given his previous, outspoken stance on PEDs and the fact that his opponent is doing it.

By refusing to take PED tests for whatever reason, e.g. contract or not, it is suspicious. I wouldn't go as far as to say he is taking PEDs because innocent until proven guilty, but again it is suspicious.
