Cheaters beware.

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman told ESPN Deportes that his organization, in conjunction with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association, will soon resume random drug testing as part of its Clean Boxing Program.

The WBC suspended testing on March 21 to protect those involved in the process during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are in communication with VADA, they are already organizing the corresponding protocols to start the tests for the Clean Boxing Program, we have made a lot of progress in the administrative work and very soon the surprise tests will start randomly,” Sulaiman said.

He went on: “We are ready. It is a matter of the laboratory confirming the areas where the tests can be carried out. It was suspended for care, health, and in order not to put laboratory collectors or boxers and their families at risk.

“It was illogical to think that during a pandemic, when everyone is forced to be at home, in many countries by law, a project that disobeys such liaisons will be considered or forced.”
