Although Taylor has a year round VADA contract which means she and Serrano will be VADA tested during training for their fight, the combination of there not being a test for every PED and the Serrano sisters', and their trainer Jordan Maldonado's (Cindy's husband), past involvement in the PED scene at gyms throughout the New York area is rather worrying - despite them being caught a long time ago.
At the very least the case showed that the Serranos and Maldonado could get their hands on PEDs if they wanted to, and since Amanda went on to win world titles at 7 weight divisions it's human nature to wonder if these were done with the aid of any PEDs and whether she'd be tempted to use them for the biggest fight of her career.
