Comments Thread For: Benavidez: They Let Canelo Do Whatever He Wants; That's Why He Got That Short Suspension

[Boxing Beast]

It's always fun to throw shade over drug charges. Benavidez is a former fat boy that got popped for coke, I guess appetite suppressants don't help people lose weight anymore! The PED drug crusaders argument is intriguing in its disregards for basic truths. Drug wars are never fought in an honest manner, it's a gotcha game based on money. Muhammad Ali doctor prescribed him thyroid drugs to help control his weight, a movement fighter using drugs to improve movement. Other athletes still use it to this day to cheat, wada testing has repeatedly asked for it to be outlawed, but if they do that they may ruin Muhammad Ali's legacy, he wont be the greatest anymore. Canelo failed two test for trace amounts in urine, but passed a hair test in the same month. According to Victor Conte the notorious drug cheat and ambassador of boxing supplementation that means he was clean, and not using for performance. If that lie is good enough for Conte, it's good enough for me. I think Haymon is behind this one, bad coverage is better than no coverage. Look what steroid scandals did for baseball in the 90's and the tour de france later on in the 2000's, it made casuals sports fan acknowledge that biking existed, who knew?. They hoping for something similar i would imagine.I just hope they somehow get forced to make the best fight the best.

Is this true, Marchegiano?

I stand corrected - did research and it was ended by Emperor Theodosius I, who legally abolished the games in 393 or 394 A.D.

I remember hearing that cheating was so blatant in the original Olympics that this lead to its demise.

Benavidez has a pitta system - Pittas can lose weight like nothing since they have the strongest metabolism. Also, Pittas, if they have a drug of choice, it is coke.

Boxers like drugs too. Just because you're a boxer does not mean you don't like to party. Anyone with any ******* experience will tell you that there is no way it helps you, only hurts you. If he took coke day one, day two he is sore. Whats the point.

It's all good.

Just wanted to verify if that was true with our local ancient boxing expert.

What is a Pitta system?

Benavides trying to talk himself into a Canelo fight just like Plant did.

But Benavidez is not Plant. Very dangerous fight for Canelo.

He may have a Pitta system, idk. But he lost his belt on the scale before so losing weight is a challenge sometimes for him. Mike Tyson famously used coke, so did Jon Jones, they both seemed to do ok. Sugar Ray Leonard and lots of other athletes have famously ruined their careers on it as well. Cokes a weird one it led to both surgical and psychological medicine, it numbs and stimulates. I think it can be used as a PED, but that’s just my opinion.

i would fail in life and everyone that's done coke will tell you they would to if they used coke for too long ... its snortable crack, you need a hit every few minutes.

Those guys wanted to party ... not use it for PEDs. Coke makes you horny as a dog, when you're young and making money and famous it goes hand to hand.

Benevidez is early 20s, he used it drinking and took a few lines to feel good .. and then missed practice next day
