Angel Garcia says he was concerned about performance enhancing drugs in the negotiations for Danny Garcia's defense of the WBC/WBA junior welterweight titles against Lucas Matthysse on September 14th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Team Garcia faced issues with last year's rematch against Erik Morales. The Mexican veteran tested positive for banned substance clenbuterol.

Morales blamed his positive result on tainted beef that he consumed in Mexico.

The explanation provided by Morales is certainly possible. Several countries, including Mexico, Canada and China, have faced serious issues with clenbuterol use on livestock. In 2011, the health department raided a Mexican slaughterhouse and found that 68% of the livestock was tainted with clenbuterol.

Since Matthysse is holding his training camp in Argentina, Angel had concerns that a Morales-like issue would come up again.

USADA [United States Anti-Doping Agency] is running the drug testing protocol on Matthysse and Garcia.

"If he takes the drug tests and everything comes up negative, we're good to go. They say the [PEDs] are in the beef and if they say it's in the beef we ain't fighting. Not only [putting the focus on Matthysse], but a lot of South American fighters blame it on the beef. They say they shoot their cattle out there in those countries [with steroids], to get them bigger and fatter. They say its in their bloodstream because they eat the beef. I'm not making it up, I'm telling you what they say," Angel told BoxingScene.com.

"The thing is, if it's in the beef then your whole family is on it. Your wife is eating it, your kids are eating it, your uncle is eating, your team is eating it. Let's test the whole squad then. I just want it fair. When we weren't champion we couldn't call the shots. We just want a fair fight."
