Spong posts clean VADA test results; still out of Usyk fight

[Ruthless-RKO]

This morning, Spong tweeted that he "just received word from VADA that my third and last urine sample taken on Oct 2nd was negative for all prohibited substances. As I’ve said all along, I’m a clean fighter and the previous results were inaccurate or manipulated. Who is responsible for this? It's shameful that I've been robbed of this opportunity... I've been wronged and I'm pissed off." Spong accompanied the social media post with a letter from VADA showing he tested negative with a sample collected on October 2nd..

Note that a negative test does not mean Spong (or any other athlete) never cheated. If the Ocotber 2nd clean test posted by Spong was the B sample of the original positive test, then Spong has a very strong argument for a false positive. But Spong said the negative result came on his "third and last urine sample" in which case there could have been a prohibited substance in his system at the time of the first two tests that had cycled out before the third test. In such a case there could be BOTH cheating by Spong and a negative third test result.

..the only thing that is relevant here is if the B sample was opened and if the result of the A sample was confirmed or not...I believe he's talking about a different sample which has no bearing on this case whatsoever...

The PED had just cycled out of his system by that time

Different testing completely though ?

VADA - send results to everyone involved in the fight - Promotors/Commission/Local Authority etc.

UKAD - they don’t - everything is completely confidential and only fighter can comment. UKAD cause so many issues way they issue the notices and take ages with hearings.
