Comments Thread For: Victor Conte Reacts To Canelo Testing Positive For Clenbuterol

[Vinnykin]

I hope he is out of the ring for a year at least, maybe two, and then gets a backdated ban.

Here, we end up with this dog-ate-my-homework type of excuse... lol

clenbuterol helps fatten a 2000 pound animal but for some reason it does the opposite for humans it helps cut weight for a 180 pound man? It's all a fkng lie. Canelo is cheating

This is not about “most guys” it’s about RoidNelo.

I get it, but it’s a good opportunity to make my point. This kid got busted, but he’s far from alone. Very far. And let me clarify something. Clenbuterol is NOT a steroid. It’s a bronchodilator that is used to treat breathing disorders like asthma, but it’s commonly used as a thermogenic to lose fat.

The vast majority of people are in the dark about PEDs and refer to them all as “steroids,” which is incorrect. I don’t know all that much about PEDs myself, but I know a lot more than most, judging from the remarks around here.

You bring up an interesting thought. How will the powers-that-be deal with this? One of the biggest names in the sport has just been caught cheating. I would be willing to bet basically nothing will happen to him. They’ll find a way to make excuses for Canelo, or give him a slap on the wrist at best.

"Saul Alvarez no longer in VADA for his upcoming September 17, 2016 bout."

He's been in the WBA VADA program since last year.

The World Boxing Association officially introduced its "Fair Boxing" program, which the sanctioning body designed to combat the use of banned substances in boxing. The announcement was made at a press conference earlier today in Panama City, Panama.
Fair Boxing is a program that the WBA will regulate in a partnership with the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA).
All of their world champions and boxers ranked in the top five will be required to take part in the program. The program officially kicked off this past Saturday night in Germany, during the WBA title fight between Jack Culcay and Demetrius Andrade.

The WBA program is not as stringent as WBC year round random testing.

Breadman has made that clear several times in his mailbag. Did you miss that, or just prefer to ignore it?

I missed that please link it.

The point is he was in a VADA testing program. You were posting links from 2 years ago to make it look like he wasn't.

BTW why are you against Canelo after you defended Fury whom used the same excuse?

[frosty-g]

In England there’s been lots of scandals where companies have sold meat to top supermarkets and restaurants that was unfit for human consumption. Such as chicken that has been bleached to stop the smell and green colour. Seriously.

So to say Canelo would only ever eat expensive meat from trustworthy sources is not a watertight point.
And I can’t imagine anyone importing all their meat.
What when he goes round to his grandmother’s and she feeds him or something?

You seriously think I'm going to waste any more of my time discussing Fury's case, or finding links to post, for a ****head like you?
