Clenbuterol, fed for 1 wk, increased the wet weight of the gastrocnemius, soleus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles (15-23%) in both normal and D + I rats. Although clenbuterol increased body weight gain, it did not alter feed consumption and, therefore, feed efficiency (g gain/g food) was improved. Activities of cathepsin B and N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, but not cathepsin D, were elevated in the soleus muscles of clenbuterol-treated rats. The clenbuterol-induced increase in muscle growth in the insulin-replaced diabetic rats indicated that this beta-adrenergic agonist effect was not mediated by an alteration of circulating levels of insulin, secondary to beta-agonist action on pancreatic insulin release.

Clenbuterol treatment increased the weight of skeletal muscles 22% to 39% in 3-month-old rats, 19% to 35% in 12-month-old rats, and 22% to 25% in 23-month-old animals. Likewise, clenbuterol increased carcass protein content 19% in 3-month-old rats, 16% in 12-month-old rats, and 24% in 23-month-old animals. Conversely, the drug reduced carcass fat content 36% in 3-month-old rats, 32% in 12-month-old rats, and 38% in 23-month-old rats. Therefore, clenbuterol had similar anabolic and catabolic effects in all age groups. In addition, clenbuterol stimulated recovery of skeletal muscle protein lost following pump implantation in senescent rats.

Clenbuterol is not only used to burn fat, it's used to generate muscle mass as well. It has both effects.
Man if it was such a great thing for you I mean, burning fat and increasing muscles, doesn't everybody want that? Why the hell is it so hard to find (not sold locally) in the US?
Yes I understand the benefits it has on athletes, I just wish it was made more available to the common consumer, rofl.
A possibility of contamination automatically rules out the good chance he intentionally took it?
This is just one of many. Plenty of evidence that inadvertent contamination is a quite reasonable explanation.
Now if it was a thing where they could be like 90% sure it was intentional, I wouldn't really be arguing much. But they are probably a lot less confident than that.
We'll see I guess. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
If you had to choose for your own jury reading through these posts would you choose the people who said it could be the meat because we really don't know, or the people who say he's obviously guilty because why the hell else would he fail a test?

So that is why the mexican fighters throw so many punches? All these years I thought it was a cultural thing and now I realize that they consume that stuff since they are children thru-out their lives.
The effect it has for boxers is it allows you to throw hard punches four longer without getting tired and enables you to take harder Punche's for longer as you dont get tired.?
A godsend for nelo. We actually saw it in first fight.
As a steroid user myself I can tell you that no one uses clen to gain muscle. Everyone uses it to cut weight. If Canelo was trying to get bigger he would be doing testosterone, nandrolone, turinabol etc, not Clen
Certainly not a holy grail. It's terrible on the heart. Juice monkeys already have a number of things affecting their heart so clen is risky.
The muscle building affects are highly overrated, same as with GH, but the fat burning is real.
Just to clarify, I'm not saying people take it to gain muscle, I'm saying bodybuilders use it during their cut because unlike other fat burners, you remain anabolic, thus not having to worry about going catabolic (muscle being burned for energy) But it would be perfect for a boxer who wants to get as lean as possible while keeping all of the muscle that they put on.

This^. As I mentioned in my last post, it's not used for gaining. A lot of what people read about steroids in the media is in contrast to the real-world application and effect.
As I mentioned, GH is the best example. People think it's a magic drug that creates muscle monsters with enlarged bone structure. no. It typically helps drop a couple lbs and clears up your skin.
those people are idiots. Clen is the holy grail in the gym because it's the only thing that will burn fat while keeping you anabolic.
