That's a lie it doesn't leave your system in 36 hours. The NFL player who tested positive for this went to Mexico for 1 week vacation. Yet days after he was already back in the US he was drug tested and still had traces. Also the head of the WADA lab said the canelo test results including the drop in levels in the second test were consistent with meat contamination studies. Same also here is memo explaining it.
The contamination of Saul Alvarez was due to consume meat, said Angel Guillermo Heredia.
The physical trainer analyzed on his own the concentrations of clenbuterol that the "Canelo" threw in the voluntary tests carried out by the VADA (Voluntary Anti-Doping Association) on February 17 and 20 in Jalisco.
The result for the Guadalajara man was 0.6 to 0.8 nanograms per milliliter in the first, and 0.06 to 0.08 in the second.
"When doing a mathematical calculation, taking into account what is the half-life of clenbuterol, which is 36 hours, depends on the human being, the activity of the athlete or metabolism of the person, taking those factors, I made an exponential equation and I It gives me an accuracy of 99 percent that amount (of the 'Canelo') is according to consumption of contaminated meat.
"In my opinion, neutral, and as a scientist and with morals, as a professional, with all the experience I have, it is practically due to contamination, since the levels of 'Canelo' are too low, what happens is that there are many problems of clenbuterol in Mexico, "Heredia added.
"There are cases above 20 or 25, or up to 40 nanograms per milliliter, and they are clearly taking that substance as doping, and one point is that the tests were in Mexico, 'Canelo' ate that meat in Mexico."
If today I took a pill, the minimum dose of clenbuterol, which is 0.02 milligrams, means that when I take that pill I will have an amount of 20 ng / ml in the urine, and after 36 hours I will have 10 ng / ml, and after another 36 hours I will have 5 thousand.
Then, the "Canelo" had less than 1 ng / ml, and even lower 3 days later, so it goes according to what is metabolism of clenbuterol, it is nothing, and 'Canelo' for me is clean.

You sound like a smart chap... perhaps you can explain the fault in my reasoning. I'm not claiming that Canelo deliberately cheated, merely that it's impossible to know given the facts available. Anyone saying otherwise is simply spinning it, unless they have access to information they ain't sharing. The only conclusion that can be drawn is that if Canelo had been using Clenbuterol as a PED then he had stopped some time - certainly at least a week, but probably more - prior to his first test on 17th Feb. A generous interpretation of Memo's statements would be that he meant Canelo was not using at the time of the test, which would be fair to say.
