WBC fully supports the launch of VADA and BSCG

United for clean boxing!

Despite the complicated and global uncertainty that we are experiencing due to the Covid-19 virus, the World Boxing Council has not ceased in its work to keep the sport clean, free of drugs or substances that enhance performance of athletes.

An agreement was recently announced between VADA and BSCG (Banned Substances Control Group), an international leader in supplement testing and certification, team in favor of sport to offer nutritional supplement testing for performance-enhancing substances to all boxers enrolled in VADA.

This certification and testing of third-party supplements is essential for all boxers who want to ensure that the products they consume on a regular basis are not contaminated with substances prohibited in sport.

These actions are endorsed by BSCG through its “Certificate of drug-free product” the highest standard that exists regarding a third-party tests for prohibited substances. Its tests cover more than 497 drugs, including those on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) list of prohibited substances. The testing covers more than 497 drugs, as well as illicit, prescription and over-the-counter drugs that are not prohibited in sport and that no other program covers.

It should be noted that interested boxers may submit their requests directly to VADA by email: info@VADA-testing.org   or through cbp@wbcboxing.com

The results would be delivered directly to applicants through VADA who would also facilitate the submission of the boxer’s samples to BSCG. The results of the tests and the requests for analysis will be kept confidential throughout the process. Likewise.  it is important to clarify that the analyzes and certificates will have no cost for the requesting boxer. However,  the number of analyzes that can be addressed under this agreement has a limit.
