Canelo popped for Clenbuterol

Dude read the whole article the lab says the test was unreliable and even less so with light hair. the lab can't say if the test would detect Clen for sure even if it was in his hair... then what exactly did it prove?

 

Right! What was Isal's stance with povetkin when that happened.

 

Plenty of fans have given a fighter like Povetkin the benefit of the doubt, many fans argued he shouldn't have been punished or his fight cancelled. Hardly anyone on here seems to hold Fury's positive tests against him. Obviously every situation is different, and you have to take it on a case by case basis. Now in Canelo's case, you have a high possibility of meat contamination so that's even more reason than those other cases of giving a fighter the benefit of the doubt.

 

LOL how many fans on here were demanding Alvarez submit a hair follicle for testing?

According to Dopeology.org, which extensively covers doping in professional cycling, "Clenbuterol, like many other substances, accumulates in very small amounts in hair follicles. If an athlete has taken the substance over a period of time in the past, his/her hair test might return a positive for a period of six months or longer. Conversely, if the clenbuterol resulted from a single incident, in which the subject had eaten meat for example, a hair test would almost certainly be negative."

It doesn't prove anything only that it suggests that he consumed a small amount that was present in the meat he ate as opposed to taking larger doses of the substance as part of a doping program that would be more likely to remain in his hair follicles for months after he had stopped taking it.

Many posters on here who believed Canelo was intentionally cheating or using clenbuterol pharmacologically over a long period of time and "cycling off it" argued that the hair follicle test would be useful in making that determination. Now that it came back negative, now it's suddenly an unrealiable method of testing. How convenient.

 

I don't recall. But when did IsaL become 'most boxing' fans?

 

You have proof of the letter from GGG lawyer or are you making **** up again. Also Canelo was suspended because Nevada is a zero tolerance state no matter how it entered your body it's an automatic suspension by their own rules. They had no choice but to suspend him yet they still held off for almost 2 months after he failed his test. But yeah blame GGG for Canelo popping dirty.

 

Fans demanded it thinking it was a conclusive test method. Turns out it isn't. The test people admitted that themselves.

 

Lol true... I will say I think he is a good poster when not talking about Canelo or Delehoya. But as soon as they are involved he becomes a blinded and incapable of being objective even remotely objective.

 

I think that is a fair and reasonable assessment.

 

I’ve no doubt you think him innocent but intended or not he shouldn’t have the option of waiting till his suspension is up,see what I mean?

 

Lol don’t they make you laugh Jackstraw,they always bring up PAC or Floyd expecting you to have different rules for them as that’s how they think lol.

 

Pretty much, yeah. Dumb rascals (I’m looking at you, Isal )

 

testing dirty should make it mandatory that he is tested year around Like it was for Ortiz after he tested dirty I wonder why Canelo is being held to a different standard?

 

It is ludicrous someone who has just tested positive won't be tested for months, and worse still that they are fully aware of the leeway they are being given.

 

Boxing operates under the Goldman rules: the man with the gold makes the rules.
