The video at the 2nd link is very interesting. Not surprising that Germany would have this problem. Before the re-unification of Germany,
East Germany was the epicenter of PEDs in Olympic sports. Some East German sports associations (such as swimming & track) actually FORCED athletes to take PEDs or they were prohibited from competing for the National team!!

THE MAJORITY of boxers who've been caught for PED use have been North Americans...
VADA is mainly targeting overseas athletes... and soft soaping North American Athletes like Stiverne and Canelo -- who have been nailed for doping -- but have NOT been sanctioned ( penalized ) for their actions.

That’s an interesting theory you have there! Have you got any proof to back it up or have you formulated an opinion based on a select few exceptional situations?
By the sounds of it, you really don’t have a clue about VADA’s role in the sport of boxing, because you are attacking them for not fulfilling a duty that they clearly aren’t responsible for.
Do you care to spend a few hours researching the validity of each point that you’ve articulated?

I wrote an article about German female boxer Elina Tissen not having to take a mandatory anti-doping test for one of her world title fights. I believe that she never has to do the test. Even if boxers do take the test in Germany, the tests may not be following proper protocol.

Didn't Sturm get caught and even had to flee Germany to not be questioned by police?
