Wow? We have a dumb ass here who thinks he's smarter than he really is. I couldn't be more thrilled. It is always amusing. :lol1: Given that I can't beat you up physically, I have to settle for beating you up mentally. :lol1:
Okay pea brain, listen up:
Clenbuterol has a half life of up to 48 hours max. It could be as low as 32 hours, relative to a person's metabolism. Canelo Alvarez tested positive for trace levels of the banned substance clenbuterol on February 17th and on February 20th of that year. Alvarez submitted a hair follicle sample at the request of the Nevada State Athletic Commission on March 29th, and the result came back negative for any traces of clenbuterol. Keeping in mind that Alvarez tested positive for the banned substance on February 17th and February 20th(whereby he was subsequently suspended by the commission), one month and 12 days had elapsed, which is 40 days.
With regard to how long a drug is biologically available within the body, 94 to 97 percent of a drug will have been eliminated after 4 to 5 half-lives. Therefore, it follows that after 4 to 5 half-lives, the plasma concentrations of a given drug will be below a clinically relevant concentration and thus will be considered to have been eliminated.
Clenbuterol's half-life would have been eliminated within, at the soonest, 192 hours, or to say it another way, in eight days. At that point, it would have no longer be retained within the body, as being biologically available. Most of the substance will have been eliminated via renal expulsion. Because many drugs have half-lives that are expelled relatively quickly, a different test had to be devised to be able to go back further in time, a test that would allow interested parties the ability to determine who is cheating or abusing drugs, knowing that with urine analysis the window to catch abusers is very small. This is where the hair-follicle test is utilized because drugs, regardless of their half-life, can be detected without being biologically available. It's like a fossil in tar, if you will, preserved for a greater length of time than are bones in the earth.
Hair growth rates vary; typically, head hair grows at an average of one-half inch per month. Therefore, a 1.5-inch hair sample detects drug use up to 90 days prior to testing, regardless of half-life. (It has nothing to do with half-life you moron.) What matters is that the hair sample is collected within those 90 days, before the individual can cut it. Because he tested positive on the 17th of February, we can determine that he had to have taken clenbuterol no sooner than February 9th. That means it will have been, at the most, 48 days since Canelo had taken clenbuterol. That is well within the 90-day range of detection. WELL WITHIN THE 90 DAYS OF DETECTION.
And with that, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to crush your puny brain :lol1: Now STFU.
Your logic is flawed. You are approaching the topic form a "HE CHEATED 100%" point so you are not allowing the science to tell you the story, your story "he cheated" is warping the science to make your point.
Have a nice day.
