Canelo Alvarez tests positive for clenbuterol, possibly due to food contamination in Mexico

The original results came back as 0.6-0.8 ng/ml and the second was 0.06-0.08ng/ml 3 days later, what are your thoughts on this?
It's also a distinctly Golden Boy problem. Of the three boxers I know of to get popped for Clen, all three are Golden Boy fighters (Morales, Vargas, Canelo). Just a weird coincidence given how many Mexican fighters are in the sport that haven't had this problem.
Mayweather has been juicing, alongside every other boxer - 100%
Uwant to see what non juiced looks like? Conor mcgregor in the 10th round. Mayweather looking as fresh in the 10th as he did in the first - at 40 yrs old.
Corruption in boxing killed it for me
How Adelaide Byrd is still able to judge is beyond me

It actually looks like the fight might be off. At least the May 5th date is very clearly in jeopardy.
Is this a serious post? The reason Conor McGregor looked gassed is MMA fighters are not asked to go 12 rounds in a row, let alone fighting in another sport entirely against one of the best fighters in the business that was known for his stamina and who had been consistently beating on McGregor for half the fight by round 10
McGregor gassed against Nate Diaz, I guess Nate is juicing too lol
Some fighters have amazing cardio, some don't just like all other athletes

0.6-0.8 id below the doping threshold, so he should be clear. But he is going in front of the same comission that gave mayweather a retroactive exception for popping and was going to ban Nick Diaz for life for smoking weed. Nevada is incompetent and change the rules all the time depending on their desired outcome so who knows?
Are the numbers dropping like that after 3 days consistent with someone eating contaminated meat or does it really matter?
Also, Canelo went up in weight to fight GGG the first time so I don't know why he would be using Clen which helps drain weight prior to this one.
Mayweather is the one who called for more testing so I don't know why you would think he was juicing. He was using Lidocaine on his hands which is banned everywhere else but Nevada so he wasn't technically using PED's when he fought in Vegas.
No we were telling you that you weren't talking sense when trying to make up for McGregor's performance in a one sided carny attraction of a boxing match.
I'm telling you Mayweather juices, and mcgregor doesn't. It has nothing to do with nate crushing his cardio.
People ridiculing mcgregor after fight is reason why steroids are commonly accepted by many, as in this case here
And if you're using that as the reason why that fight turned out the way it did or how McGregor looked after the fact then you're talking out of your ass to make up for the fact McGregor didn't do the impossible and didn't look that great either way.
Connor fought a professional boxer, who was a champion of said professional boxing. Steroids wouldn't have mattered much because he gassed out after the bell rang. He seems happy, has connor been saying drugs are the reason he didn't know how to box professionally...?
Yes the numbers from the tests match the contaminated meat explanation perfectly. The alternative is that they caught canelo at the exact perfect time when his dosing cycle would show hos doping as coming from contaminated substances and he stopped taking just in case he was tested again.

In the 2008 olympica and in tournaments in Mexico, any value below 1.0 is not even looked at twice. Its just part of the noise

Clenbuterol is classified a steroid, but it's not really a performance enhancer either. It's use to lose weight...is Canelo trying to size down for a different weight class? And it's low dose so could the contaminated food thing be a possibility? Would it even matter in training?
I believe it's also good for stamina, which Canelo has always had issues with.

Blame Dana for not taking it off of him like he did to the Featherweight belt.
GGG's team still wants to fight on 5/5. They could throw Derevianchenko in there against him. He's a mandatory for Gennady at the moment.

He is obviously on gear and frankly, probably has been for most or all of his latest fights. This puts his career in a different light. I heard people claim he gained size after the Mayweather fight which is something that I might look into.
not to mention McGregor kept throwing haymakers at Mayweather.
Even the most conditioned boxers cant keep that shit up at the rate he was doing it. It was a dumb fight.
I've heard the same, that after being completely outclassed he decided that maybe it was the right time to juice.
Speculation, of course. I couldn't say for certain one way or the other if and when he made that choice.
