In addition, he also came up negative for any banned substances on March 2 and March 5. @ BS

Of course. Test him till he gets ok. That 'sshit' ain't gonna stay forever in the body.

LMFAO!!! Really an unreal story...I am pretty upset he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Dopes Doping.

At the end of the day lots of people are depending on how much money he generates. So he's gonna be fine.

I don't care about him...it's what it does to the sport's integrity, which is further diminishing as x approaches 0.

They'd be as well just stopping drug testing in boxing if this fight goes ahead. Especially for ppv fighters. It's pathetic.

I feel like the only way to even things out is to make it legal. It ruined baseball's sacred statistics and it'll ruin boxing too I fear.

Yes but it is what it is. They would close the case and let be forgotten.

Yup. Just imagine if GGG who loves those mexican meat dishes had traces of cleb in his system, suddenly he would've been crucified and banned. BTW Golovkin must eat free-cleb mexican meat.

It could be a good ideea.

all of a sudden proverbial "mexican" style of boxing gets an entirely new meaning..

[apollo creed]

Tony Bellew speaking the truth:

"Fans have been asking why I haven’t made a comment on Canelo. I haven’t made a comment because no one cares. What difference does it make? The organisations and governing bodies don’t care, and they certainly don’t care what I say. What is the point of me coming out and saying, ‘ban him for life’? No governing body has any desire to step up. Not Ukad, not the British Boxing Board of Control, not WADA – no one.
"The WBA and WBC have already decided Canelo is innocent. That seems unfair, doesn’t it? Canelo gets the full backing, but smaller fish are left to fry. They pick and choose which fighters to back. For me, a drugs cheat is a drugs cheat if there’s steroids in your system. It does my head in.
"Alvarez tested positive for a drug called clenbuterol. It’s a fat loss drug that adds to your muscle performance. It contributes to your power and it helps your performance. So it’s a performance-enhancing drug, no question. It’s a strange thing to fail for. There is also the suggestion clenbuterol can be used as a masking agent. There’s no doubt Canelo has a great alibi – contaminated meat he ate while training in Mexico. Do I believe it? I’m skeptical, just like I was when Lucas Browne failed a drug test. He failed a test the day after the fight against Ruslan Chagaev, but passed one two days before the fight.
"Someone needs to stand up and say, if you fail a test on our watch you’re not coming back to boxing. No ifs, no buts, it’s over. All these governing bodies piss in the same pot, once one hands down a ban, the rest will follow suit. This isn’t a hundred metre race, this is a sport where we punch each other in the head as hard as we can. If one guy has an illegal advantage over the other, it’s not only unfair, it’s dangerous." from BS

For once Tony is spot on

I'm sure that most of the guys atop this sport have been dirty and boxers like GGG, who is definitely clean and quite naive, are the minority.

You know how you can tell when a boxer starts using PEDS? When he goes from a 2 or 3 fights per year to 1. With 1 fight a year, cycling becomes easy and an exact science around the right people. Floyd was the master of this. He could be cycling all year long and know exactly when to come off it in order to test clean.

I mean come on....there's no way Floyd should have been able to look and fight like this at 40. It's so obvious but no one calls him out. Canelo just needs better scientists. He's just trying to do everything Floyd did.

This is a really telling point, in my opinion, it's one of those examples of evidence being circumstantial rather than conclusive, but nonetheless very convincing in my opinion. Whilst the various fvcked-up other reasons for fighters inactivity have to be considered also, you know with TV/money and contract issues like Mikey or Ward, there are other reasons fighters fight less often, but I agree entirely that it's no coincidence modern fighters just so happen to fight less, whilst said inactivity might aid them in the process of detection-free cycling. Good point

Oscar De La Hoya and co have almost got it down to a science now, following in the great Mayweather's footsteps seemingly without the undisclosed payouts.

Now if only this 'Clenelo' business would just go away....

All those high rollers, and nothing better than contaminated meat?

[SenorPipino]

Canelo's passed 3 straight tests since leaving Mexico and its tainted meat behind.

He's passed countless drug tests over the years and then tests positive with an infinitesimal amount of clenbuterol in his system.

And everyone has known that Mexican meat is dirty. It's no surprise when Mexican prizefighters are found to have it in their system.

But some feel a need to make a big production out of it.

As usual, much ado about nada.

But it gives Golovkin's supporters an excuse to hang their hat on should he be pummeled come Cinco de Mayo.

[boxing_rocks]

So, why did millionaire Canelo eat that meat then?

All his pre-Golovkin drug tests were not random, so he didn't have problems with cycling. This time he got caught unprepared.

Innocent "mis-steak"

[Thomastearns]

Talking of cycling, it's worth noting that Spain's Alberto Contador was given a two year ban for having 50 picograms of clenbuterol in his system. Canelo had 600-800 piocgrams!

That's an awful lot of mis-steaks.

Unless something is done we may see a lot more training camps set up in Mexico or China. I hope this doesn't go away, and some strong action is taken. At the very least more stringent and random drug testing must become compulsory in this sport.

Boxing is currently so far behind that testing is almost a waste of time. Drug cheats won't be stopped, but they shouldn't be fighting for millions $ or prestigious titles.

"That's an awful lot of mis-steaks." Great stuff!!!!! No one (other than fans) want the PEP's to stop. Look how long it took the major professional sports leagues!
