“When you’re ranked in the top 15 with the WBC you’ve got to enrol with VADA. They’ve reminded me to make sure I let them know my location when I’m going away. I let them know, ‘I’m in Ibiza for the next five days – this is where I’m staying, this is the gym I’m going to be training at, if you need to test me, they’re the details’. When I got back from Ibiza I had to let them know I was in Palma [Mallorca, Spain]; where I was staying. I let them know that I were in Palma, and they actually turned up in Palma. The day I got back from Ibiza [to the UK] I flew to Palma, and that night they rang me. ‘It’s VADA – we’ve come for a urine sample.’ I was out at a restaurant so I said they could come down to the restaurant, went to the restaurant toilet; did my urine sample. They’d seen I’d been in Ibiza and probably thought, ‘Let’s test this kid straight from Ibiza’, but I know that I don’t do anything I’m not supposed to, so we’re all good.
