I mean, if he wants to prove he's clean from now on, this is the minimal thing he can do.
If he keeps ducking 365 testing all I can say is he will still be cheating his way to the top.
haha, ok, I'd like to see what tests where actually done and when though!
it must have been a pretty poor protocol not to have caught both of them!!
Full Olympic styled tests where implemented.
We, the fans need to push for this. The biased media is in Golden Boys pocket, otherwise they wont get any credentials etc. If Canelo can just get away with it and still does his PED cycles because he only does 8 weeks testing prior to a fight then this has done nothing.
Why is it even a choice in the first place? It should be a rule that every fighter needs to sign up.
Because the sanctioning bodies have not come to an agreement regarding wanting the sport clean.
If you look at powerlifting for instance steroid use is widespread and there are separate sanctioning bodies for drug tested events and even some bodies that require long term testing.
There is different record keeping for these events.
Unlike others here I believe Canelo to be dirty and am glad he is being punished but at the same time I don't thing singling him out for testing solves the problem, because then he'll be clean will then be in a forced position to face someone else who is dirty.
Canelo doesn't want to be clean. If he did he would have already announced that not only would he do 365 testing but that he would also require that all he opponents henceforth do the same.
He knows that the giving up that advantage to someone who can get away with gaming the system is too risky.
This will be the biggest hurdle with the rematch.
I don't see anyway that GB and Canelo could or even would argue against what ever testing that Golovkin's side would ask for.
That is if they even want the fight. I doubt they are very confident that they could win if they had to fight on a level field.
My understanding, I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, is that Golovkin had asked for 10 weeks of testing this time instead of 8.
This will be the biggest hurdle with the rematch.
Is he not in the VADA CBP?
Nope... he signed VADA just for the fight. Same he did for the Chavez fight and the first Golovkin fight. He gets tested two months only.
I think last year it was a total of 72. I don't think it's as widespread as you think. Do you find it suspicious that Canelo dropped the WBC?
Obviously. He had dropped VADA against Smith as well.
Golovkin and many other top fighters are doing VADA 365 so WTF are you talking about? ignorant prick.

It was done yes, Mike Tyson forced he tests!

Why? They literally screwed up the cycling off timing by a couple of days. They won't make that mistake again.
And they are likely not the only ones doing it so why would they concede that advantage?
They already paid the price with the loss in revenue on the May 5th revenues.
If the sanctioning bodies wanted the sport clean they would require it. This is the current environment and those are the rules and the athletes are going to try and get every advantage.
Singling out Canelo because he got caught is disingenuous. Do you want the sport clean or just Canelo clean?

And whose gonna pay for that?
The governing bodies, excalty the same as any other sport. But as
Paulie Malignaggi stated? A lot of promoters and governing bodies, deep down don't really care.
