Andre Ward has refused to participate in the VADA testing

[IamInuit]

Why does he have to make this statement?

He should, because he's a high-profile, highly-regarded boxer and because he's publicly agreed with Floyd Mayweather's call for PED testing for all big fights.

Ward said it would be "good for the sport".

He calls himself the "Son of God". If that's a fair nickname, he mustn't have anything dirty to hide. But is he a hypocrite?

There are lots of other higher profile fighters that could be coming forward to do the same even though its not in the contract. Like all of them. Wlad could make one hell of a statement.

All fighters, even the cheaters probably agree with Floyds proclamation.

Have them as a standard part of all contracts. Problem solved.

Wlad submits to random Olympic style testing by the way. For the Povetkin fight, a big issue was who to do the testing and ultimately even though it was more expensive, they used multiple testing agencies.

I pulled Wlads name out of the hat. The fact still remains that if you want this kind of testing you dont blind side a guy after a contract has been signed that does not include them. Every fight could go this way. Why not just include it in the contract? If he says no then let the crucifixion commence.
