Why are Canelo's failed drug tests always swept under the rug?

    Does anybody else feel like boxing fans and promoters collectively try to implement some kind of revisionist history and pretend Canelo didn't fail two drug tests? Why is it never discussed and why do even the hardcore boxing fans look over it?

    As for Reynoso, does anyone else find this camp sketchy? Is one insane to always be skeptical of him and his methods? It just seems so weird that someone like Oscar Valdez who was going life and death with lower ranked fighters, all of a sudden punches like a mule and knocks Miguel Berchelt out cold.

    Same reason why Floyd's ultra low T/E ratios, ducking of VADA, and illegal IV fluids never come up.

    Canelo's nickname here is Clenelo.

    Boxing is a business. The only thing that truly matters is money.

    It’s corruption is more obvious than the other major sports simply because it has so many different governing bodies. As long as (FIGHTER A) makes the wealthy people wealthier, the negative aspects will be swept under the rug.

    Answer is easy Floyd was cash cow for Vegas & the NSAC now the mantle is passed to Canelo. Floyd got caught red handed cheating with Saline drip in his own home 24 hours before May/Pac. The NSAC stated " Mr Mayweather did nothing wrong so we will not be investigating" ROFL!! Then issued him a retroactive TUE for the illegal saline THREE WEEKS LATER !!

    Cause people dont deal with facts and rather talk about unproven allegations they talk more about Floyd and Pac alleged and unproven ped use than they do about guys who actually cheated like Canelo and others.

    Floyd & Canelo are BOTH proven Ped's abusers but have had the offences pushed under the carpet

    If you want a REAL answer and not the typical hater answer it’s simple, dude got got with low levels of something in his system, his offered to do more advanced testing which would be able to tell if he was really cheating or not, the same agency that failed him also cleared him and said it was an accident. That’s also the only reason he only got a 6 month suspension, as a fan even if he was cleared it’s still a bad look so I get anybody who wants to call em a cheat or whatever but the people who caught you say your good then I’m not going to keep bringing it up.

    It’s like most controversy’s. They got spoken about a lot when it’s happened but once it all dies down it tends to get left alone until that person does something again

    The 6 months suspension, conveniently tied in with Alvarez having a knee operation.
    Some suspension for the anointed one!

    Nobody forgets that Clenelo jacked himself up on clenbuterol.
