    No it isn't, you're just upset that you can't call Canelo a cheat anymore.

    Because drug he is using is now legal.
    Clen is also a masking agent, so expect a golden age of steroids now.
    However, what you don't realize is that Canelo's opponents will use as well and now he won't be the only one roided up.
    So they might have fuсked him up in the end.

    Corrupt organizations with little to no credibility. WADA today is also heavily politicized.

    My opinion on this has nothing to do with canelo. However, it's clear as ****ing glass your opinion does. If you really cannot see how this can be abused, you are just trying to fool yourself with ignorance.

    No, it's still not legal. And clenbuterol isn't a steroid. There's a lot of thing you got wrong there.

    I wonder if they did it because Canelo tested positive vs Kovalev

    You would wonder that wouldn't you? The WADA ruling was put into effect on June 1st.

    BS - It's called roid cheating. Mexico is a failed state run by cartels.
    A convenient excuse to tie it to tainted beef.

    WBC is a bunch of frauds. Trace amounts my ass. Canelo had 5-10X the amount of Clenbuterol than previous athletes who got banned. His daily meal plan is listed at the bottom. So where's the beef? He was doping it up and got caught.

    This is copied from elsewhere:

    --------------

    Any amount of Clenbuterol is doping, says WADA

    'This is just the dopers adjusting or mis-adjusting to the testing'
    Alberto Contador's lawyers will need to re-think their Tour de France doping defence. A WADA official reminded them that an athlete with any amount of the drug Clenbuterol is considered positive.

    "Just because it's small doesn't mean it's not doping," WADA's Christiane Ayotte told the New York Times. "This is just the dopers adjusting or mis-adjusting to the testing."

    Ayotte runs the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) lab outside of Montreal. She commented on the recent cases of athletes testing positive for small amounts of Clenbuterol. The drug helps breathing and weight loss.

    Recent cases:
    - China's Fuyu Li: 50-100 picograms
    - Italy's Alessandro Colò: 200 picograms
    - Spain's Alberto Contador: 50 picograms
    - Germany's Dimitrij Ovtcharov: 75 picograms
    - Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez: 600-800 piocgrams

    Cyclists Li and Colò both received suspensions from their federations. Germany acquitted table tennis player Ovtcharov, but WADA has since appealed the decision. All of the athletes argued that the Clenbuterol came from eating contaminated beef.

    The WADA lists Clenbuterol as a banned substance regardless of how it was ingested. Contador maintains his innocence and claims that the beef that his Astana team bought in Irún, Spain, caused the positive result.

    Canelo failed 2 tests in 3 days:

    0.6-0.8 nanogram = 600-800 picograms

    It is alarming how the media tries to fool the public by calling it "Just traces" and alot of people just fall for it. All the previously mentioned athletes had much less Clenbuterol in their samples and yet got suspended, you have to wonder how much meat Canelo must have eaten to have 12-14 times the amount of Clenbuterol in his system?

    In an article from GQ 18 months ago Canelo claimed that he wouldnt eat any red meat during training camp:

    The Real-Life Diet of Canelo Álvarez, Who Can't Eat Much

    Still, boxing has one huge piece of prep work that’s easy to forget about: staying in your weight class. Weight is everything in boxing, and maintaining that number is a slog. “I eat bread only once a week,” says Saúl “Canelo” Álvarez via a translator, “or maybe a serving of rice. But no more than once a week.”

    Breakfast
    Egg whites with ham and orange juice

    Lunch
    Chicken with carrots, squash, broccoli and cauliflower

    Snacks
    Apples, cucumbers, grapes, jicama

    Dinner
    Protein shake with no carbs
