HOUSTON -- One thing that separates junior featherweight titlist Nonito Donaire from every other fighter in boxing is his hard-line stance on random drug testing. Donaire, who will defend his 122-pound crown against Jorge Arce on Saturday night (HBO, 9:30 ET/PT) at the Toyota Center, heads into the fight once again allowing the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association to randomly test him. But unlike other fighters who might make a deal to be tested randomly in the build-up to a particular bout, Donaire is the only fighter in the world enrolled with VADA who allows the organization to test him 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, whether he is in training for a fight or not.
