Comments Thread For: WBC, WBA Back Canelo in Test Controversy: He is Innoncent!

[Robbie Barrett]

Shameful. But anyone who has followed the sport for more than 10 minutes should not be surprised at the organizations response...money bends the rules in boxing more than any other sport unfortunately. And Canelo=money machine

WADA which covers 100s of sports lets athletes off with positive clen samples if they come from a country with contaminated meat.

“We acknowledge that the clenbuterol meat contamination issue is unsatisfactory,” said Olivier Niggli, WADA’s Director General, in a statement. “Accordingly, since 2011, the Agency has carried out several research studies aimed at providing analytical means to distinguish ingestion of clenbuterol by pharmacological origin versus that of meat contamination. We will continue to invest in scientific research to try to solve this issue as quickly as possible. However, in the meantime, we maintain that disciplinary proceedings against athletes with low level urinary concentrations, from countries known for significant risk of exposure, would have little to no prospect of success; and, would be very unfair to the athletes concerned.”

Was it really in the meat he ate???

Clenbuterol shares similarities with stimulant drugs (i.e. increase heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration, etc.) such as adrenalin (ephedrine) and amphetamines. It may be used in conjunction with anabolic androgenic steroids and performance enhancing drugs for reducing body fat and promoting the growth of skeletal muscle. It is widely believed that Clenbuterol has the ability to increase muscle mass by enhancing protein synthesis. It is frequently mentioned alongside bodybuilding steroids and may be used in stacks with other anabolics. However, Clenbuterol is a stimulant, or sympathomimetic amine, and not an anabolic steroid.

Therefore, it shouldn’t matter either way...

Weird WBC defending Canelo given their bad blood history.

Lot of money at stake for the WBC in that fight.

Not surprising considering the WBA and the WBC are the two most disgusting organizations in world boxing. **** them.

Not guilty, not guilty just ate a lil beef with some Clenny

Not even close to how long GGG's been at MW. Which is like birth.

Lol fair enough. That said, all that proves is that the guy is a natural MW. 30 days out he's only like 8lbs over, can't say the same about Canelo, dude's got a serious aversion to scales.

The diva is a fraud, has always been, she's gotten by with it for so long, she doesn't even care about getting caught anymore. GGG will retire her, it's a wrap.

Love how the beef excuse always gets rolled out when a Mexican fighter is popped
