To clear a few more things up.
WADA is World Anti-Doping Agency. They set international standards. They don’t do any actual testing, they are overseers. For example they investigated the whole Russian Sochi scandal, they oversaw the testing, but the testing was done by RUSADA-Russian Anti-Doping Agency.
In US testing is done by USADA, WADA sets USADAs standards. But boxing doesn’t fall under WADAs supervision. So when USADA got into boxing they chose how it was done.
VADA was designed specifically for boxing so of course it is better in a boxing specific sense. But even they have different standards. For their protocol to truly be effective fighters need to be in the year round testing pool but very very few are.
And people that suggest USADA cares about Floyd’s money have no idea how much money is at stake.
