And yes - the substances involved should definitely (in my world at least) fit the criteria of providing a demonstrable performance advantage IMO - some at least appear to be there for political reasons (cannabis I think is one of those - hard to see how getting stoned is gonna make you into a lethal killing machine - although ... them Hashishim) and others simply because athletes use them in the belief that they might help although research has yet to prove their efficacy.
And like I said earlier, in my world the burden of proof for punitive action should be considerably greater than that required to act to minimise the risk to health... although once again - if there is rules it is reasonable to expect all people fighting under a jurisdiction (a governing or sanctioning body) to adhere to them. And no, there should not be exceptions - but as we both know (as in the rest of life) exceptions are made when there is enough vested interest at stake. Money, in other words.Comment

I want to see findings of the investigation. That 3 week ban seems just for show. The NSAC is going to pretend to do something, then the fight will just go on and the hundreds of millions of $$$ will be made. If they do ban Canelo for 6 months, or a year, then it will mean something.Comment

Your starting to lose coherence, man - or maybe you're on a cell/ mobile.

MOVING ON.....
i must reiterate my stand...
if there is no proof the substance does what its claimed to do, why ban it ?!?! cause it might work in OTHER SPORTS ?!?!?!?
we are talking about livelihoods and reputations here.
lets role play
''you know, your levels of x are extremely high.''
''what does it mean ?''
''we dont know for sure, but youre banned.''
is that how it plays out ?
yeah, yeah...rules
''dont do as i do, do as i say !''
