Test agreement

Floyd Mayweather and have agreed to take part in a US AntiDoping Agency (Usada) Olympicstyle testing program ahead of their May 2 mega-bout in Las Vegas, Usada said on Friday. Drug testing had long been a major stumbling block in bringing together the biggest drawcards of their generation, but Usada confirmed both fighters have consented to rules established under the World Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) banned-substance list. ‘‘It’s a strong statement of the importance of clean and safe competition to have these two fighters voluntarily agree to have a Wada level anti-doping program implemented for this fight,’’ said Usada CEO Travis Tygart in a statement. ‘‘We commend them for their stand for clean sport and the message it sends to all those who want to compete clean at the highest levels of all sport.’’
