Ok I’ve had a quick look at the website. I see that the vada program is drug testing for 8 weeks prior to the fight. As seen in the about section. Do you know if he has ADDITIONAL random testing outside of competition like the clean boxing program claims to do. And when I say outside of competition I mean 365 days a year...not just the 8 weeks. I believe Golovkin is part of this kind of program.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑19 Apr 2018, 03:42VADA welcomes Saul “Canelo” Alvarez back to our program as he prepares for his 5/5/18 rematch against Gennady Golovkin.
This is what VADA's official website states (click on the above hyperlink to access it). Also, use the "Way Back Machine" website to confirm when this was originally posted (i.e. before the article you quoted was published).
The out-of-competition drug testing was definitely administered by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Agency (VADA) and Dr. Margaret Goodman informed all interested parties of Canelo's infraction using the following letter:
And this resulted in Golden Boy releasing the following statement:
"As part of the voluntary testing program that Canelo Alvarez insisted on ahead of his May 5 fight, one of his results came back positive for trace levels of clenbuterol…”
Mauricio Sulaiman also claims that Canelo has been enrolled in the Clean Boxing Program for "many years."
It seems that Dr. Margaret Goodman's claim is either wrong or VADA's own "official" website, Mauricio Sulaiman, GBP and even her own fũckîng words that she wrote down are incorrect.

Re: CANELO back in september ?
So Whyte was banned for 2 years for a substance in a drink banned only 2 weeks before he took it and Canelo gets away with it pretty much
Re: CANELO back in september ?
..I was just wondering..how come you are entitled to a reduced punishment and be called first-time violator if you got caught actually TWICE on different dates..the other thing is "Canello has been cooperative since testing positive"..hasn't he been adamant claiming its contaminated meat? ..What kind of cooperation are we talking about?

Re: CANELO back in september ?
It's deceiving... he did actual only get caught once. The A and B samples are tested differently and gave results at different dates but it's only one sample they took. So, they took bloody, tested, failed. Tested the exact same blood, failed. So he has only failed once. But he's still a pudendumgreg wrote: ↑19 Apr 2018, 09:05 ..I was just wondering..how come you are entitled to a reduced punishment and be called first-time violator if you got caught actually TWICE on different dates..the other thing is "Canello has been cooperative since testing positive"..hasn't he been adamant claiming its contaminated meat? ..What kind of cooperation are we talking about?

Re: CANELO back in september ?
Canelo tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol in two out-of-competition drug tests performed in February, which was two months and 18 days from the Cinco de Mayo fight date… or eleven weeks to be precise.lazboy wrote: ↑19 Apr 2018, 06:14Ok I’ve had a quick look at the website.

The WBC’s out-of-competition anti-doping protocols only applies to eligible fighters and I don’t think that Canelo met most of that criterion, because: he wasn’t a WBC world champion (as of the 1st January 2018); he had denounced all ties with the WBC and probably wasn’t enrolled in the CBP; and as of the 1st January, 2018, he wasn’t scheduled to engage in one of their world title bouts.
The way the CBP works, is that almost none of the fighters enrolled in that program undergo out-of-competition testing.

Correct. He did provide two samples. It wasn't blood either. It was urine.

The reason it's only considered one single offence, is that the high amount of clenbuterol present in the Feb 17th sample would take a few days to get out of his system completely, so would still be detectable 3 days later just at a much lower concentration (exactly how they found it).
If Canelo had taken any more clenbuterol in between those dates, the levels on the second test would have been much higher.

Some boxers like Donaire do voluntary VADA testing they pay for themselves (about $20K a year), and that testing is truly year around. If Canelo wants to prove that he is (or at least became) a clean boxer, he should enroll in that program.

Read section I of the following pdf:
“WBC Clean Boxing Program (CBP) Testing and Results Management Guidelines”
The WBC admit that only 28 fighters were tested out-of-competition for the first three months of 2017, which is their typical volume and most were former or current world champions.

A fighter can voluntarily pay for themselves to be tested, even if they weren't enrolled in the CBP. However, for the WBC to impose and also fund it, the fighters have to meet certain conditions.

In terms of those that are deemed eligible though, you're right... it's probably underfunded, so testing rarely takes places.
I know I'm a pedant, but it is wrong for others to say that ANY fighter CAN be tested (unless they pay for it out of their own pocket).. However it would be correct to say that those fighters that are eligible MAY be tested out-of-competition.
I guess the WBC impose eligibility criterion, because testing is so expensive.
Re: CANELO back in september ?
Ok that makes sense. I read the 8 week thing on the website, EO pointed out is was 11 weeks when he got caught. Maybe 8 weeks is just a general guide but they can start as soon as fight is announced...I assume this is why Canelo was caught unawares.

Pretty certain there are a variety of Vada programs. There’s the one with the 8 week or fight announcement testing. Then the one coupled with the clean boxing program which is meant to be ‘anytime’ regardless of a fight being scheduled. Got my info from
http://www.boxingnews24.com/2017/02/ove ... ogram/amp/
So it seems that Canelo could Volunteer to be in the out of competition testing see rule no. 4.
