@Canelo vs @jcchavezjr1 will be testing with VADA. #cleanboxing #May6 @TMobileArena

What is a chance those guys are clean ?

I'm surprised/impressed that Canelo has agreed to VADA testing if this is in fact true. Canelo's physical appearance has changed a lot over the last few years in my opinion and I always assumed that he was on the needle. As the new A side of everything, he can dictate terms of fights like Floyd did so i'm surprised at this.

Like Floyd getting caught with a needle in his arm before the Manny fight, I guess this doesn't mean much as the A side can find a way around most.

At 164.5, Canelo doesn't need so much weight cutting, so they may have decided to sacrifice whatever he was using for that in order to create even more problems for Jr's weight cutting.

Conelo withdrew from vada testing part way through training camp for a fight at a weight he hadn't made in 3 years.

Clean.
