    No, as maximum he can be suspended for two years, but it very likely that he will be cleared of failing a drugs test because the "investigation" will find out that Canelo ate "dirty" meat.

    He'll be fine.... Plus as long as GGG wins against whoever he fights on 5 De Mayo if that's still going on this fight will happen in September I'm pretty sure.. Among most of the hardcore fans yes he will always be called a cheat but to casuals and the public in general he will still be a big name.. What could affect him is how long his suspension is and maybe mentally.. but with all the money he has Im sure he will be just fine and will only eat the finest most organic Clenbuterol free meat.

    It depends if he can keep roiding, I think. MW might be too big for him without roids. And that’s a problem.

    They will view it as “We need to be more careful with the testing cycles “ and not learn anything

    Exactly. As in, let's try talking to Memo Heredia next time. He got Juan Manual Marquez some invisible stuff.

    Same as Marquez. The moment he can't roid, he quit.

    Exactly the masses can easily be swayed with marketing/media. You saw how many brain dead people actually believed McGregor had a legit chance against mayweather.

    Like someone else said, many hardcore fans might always consider CA a cheater but not for the rest.

    His promotional team and HBO will spin this into great adversity CA will overcome to propel him to even greater heights as he forges ahead as the pride of Mexico.

    No, not really. His brand is crossover appeal, not hardcore boxing fans. He’s a good looking young man who’s a multimillionaire still in his 20s. He’s the only Mexican boxing icon right now and most people really don’t care that much about PEDs. Most people want victory and entertainment, not moral purity. The only thing that will really finish him as a boxer is a Barrera / Hamed type of asswhooping, or maybe another, larger PED bust.

    He’ll be fine. Of course, more stringent testing will affect his performance so longer we shall see

    He'll be hailed as a hero and martyr by his Mexican fans, I have no doubts.

    nah he's the man, the cash cow other than AJ. he will be cleared and this will go away.

    apart from the hardcore haters who wont forgot about it.

    Canelo is no 1. GGG wont draw a big enough crowd
