Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely adore boxing. I watch virtually all relevant fights even though I oftentimes gotta stay up all night to see the clashes on US soil because of time zones. Still, it blows my mind how corrupt everyone in the game is. Sure, the sport ain't dying but it's been in decline and the lack of crediblity and the morbid corruption in boxing certainly contributed their part, you can't tell me otherwise. It seems like nothing fucking matters. Judges are crooked, organizations are crooked, fighters are crooked. You can be on gear, get busted and the fight might still be on because there's too much money involved.
Watch his opponent make excuses on Canelo's behalf (because Golovkin would miss out on a big paypday. I understand the frustration):

I'm honestly not even sure why I bother at this point. Drug testing in boxing is a joke. Everybody juices, which makes you wonder what the hell Canelo did to get busted lol. But worse than that is the lack of credibility and consistency. "b-b-but bad meat is a thing in Mexico!! b-b-b-but the amount of juice they found was negligible.". Come on, everyone.
The fight is not off yet. Not sure if that's gonna happen. I doubt it, but we'll see. Apparently, the Nevada Athletic Commission is not expected to call the fight off, because of the low dose of juice in Canelo's body. People who believe his story are delusional.
