Why Is Tyson Fury's PED Cheating Ignored, While People Disparage Canelo?

Post by Perkin Warbeck »

Many people call Canelo Alvarez "Clenelo" due to a positive PED test. Clenbuterol has shown up in drug tests for many Mexican athletes in recent years because of meat contamination in the country.

But Tyson Fury had a similar positive test for an anabolic steroid nandrolone, and blamed it on eating wild boar testicles. And unlike clenbuterol which is in the meat in Mexico, there are very few British athletes who test positive for nandrolone!

To be fair, since people constantly disparage Alvarez, shouldn't they nickname the big dosser something like "Tysonandrolone Fury?"

Fury sold his story better. Don't get me wrong, it's a pathetic story with too many loose ends but he sold it better.

I wonder how Martin Carefoot is doing. Is he still alive?

I don't think most Boxing fans care either way about their alleged PED use. The wins stayed on their record. Outside of the ultra hardcore Boxing fans who follow every minor detail, and bit of info on the sport. Most people don't know or care about these things.
