    I'm already clear on how WADA works (Nice video above) but who or what constitutes an 'Olympic testing organization' besides WADA?
    If I google 'olympic anti doping agency', WADDA comes up... So who else exactly does Bob wanna use Who else is there?

    How many acronyms can there be! lol

    To my very limited knowledge, the USADA are recognised as the most capable organization, or maybe the only organization capable of implementing Olympic testing protocols. Is this correct?
    I gotta be honest, I think Bob has fucked up here...

    (Any anti-doping organization is capable) or can be a signatory of the rules or policies implemented under WADA, but typically countries only use one. In this case, it doesn't matter who you use because what Arum originally said was that the hierarchy would have to come under the Athletic Commission so that there would be accountability should a fighter be found dirty. What is important is the standards WADA uses for administering the testing. Thus you have Floyd's request for OST. The truth is Floyd's style of testing does not follow WADA policy. It is extremely excessive to the point of being harassment by comparison.

    Personally I find the whole issue is rather blindingly absurd. Governments make rules for the people that follow the rules. People that don't follow the rules don't care what rules you use because they are not bound by them. So in reality is, it only makes the people under the system jump through more hoops. Nothing gets better in the end and you haven't really prevented any more people from using other means not listed in the rules.

    You have to excuse me for all the questions. I figure you are the authority on the subject and I simply like to question authority but what is 'Floyds style of testing'? I thought he wanted Olympic style testing. Would USADA actually action protocols other than those set by the WADA?

    Also, in saying 'harassment by comparison' I assume you are merely referring to random testing as opposed to scheduled testing?
