I expressed several opinions within the same post - you just didn't bother to read them.
You just want to attack and insult me, out-of-the-blue, for no damn reason!
What do you want me to say about a video posted April 2018?
In terms of Golovkin's words, he claims that Canelo "did something wrong", but according to today's rules, he hasn't.
I can't be bothered spending more time on this discussion, but if you need a history lesson to remind you of all the facts... then I'll resurrect an old post of mine to educate you on real-world historical reality:

The NSAC also performed hair follicle tests on Canelo and they came back negative for any traces of clenbuterol. They also conceded that there was no suspicion whatsoever of the Mexican intentionally doping.
The WBC, USADA and WADA (which covers lots of sports, not just boxing) subsequently increased the threshold for testing positive for clenbuterol, because it was deemed impossible to determine whether failed tests were due to ingesting contaminated meat or genuine doping.
They also felt that is was unreasonable to assume that athletes, especially those residing in Mexico and China, could avoid consuming contaminated meat that contained traces of clenbuterol (since that drug isn't globally banned in livestock farming).
Under the new/currently existing policy rules, Canelo would have never tested positive for a banned substance or served a suspension, which means he would have almost certainly engaged in the GGG rematch much earlier.
For the record, WADA isn’t directly affiliated with VADA – their rules aren’t the same.
WADA deals with all sports, not just boxing, and them changing their rules had nothing whatsoever to do with Canelo.
