If the fight happens in May, will Canelo be clean?

I don't know. I am not expert at all. I am not even sure any ped actually increases a boxer's speed, stamina, punching power or ability to take a punch. I have never seen any tests that prove any type of ped helps make a boxer fight better. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. If Canelo didn't fail the test by accident by eating tainted meat but deliberately cheated then he probably cheated for the first fight. If he is telling the truth then he doesn't have much of the banned substance in his system anyway and will test clean from now on. If he did cheat for the first fight it didn't get him the win and I thought he lost. I want the fight to happen on time and I expect GGG to win it. I like Canelo but I like GGG more and will be rooting for him to win. I am not worried about Canelo having an unfair advantage. I think the better fighter will win and peds won't change that.

He will be Clen.

He is already roided and he takes pills after the weigh ins. He also injects his arms and stomach before the fight.

My understanding is no, he wont be clean. Majority of the dirty fighters cycle during the offseason. They build up physical attributes when they're not being tested, then are clean in the period leading up to the fight. They keep the physical gains they've made during the cycle for quite awhile.

absolutely not. if it goes ahead and canelo wins, it doesnt count in my eyes.

This is a very good piece of info. I'll use it in my future irl discussions about Canelo lmao. Niice.

NO! Just like in weightlifting they all take PEDs during off season way before... months before the actual competetions & events.

Those weightlifters obviously take drugs but they come 'clean' to competetions.

For you doping experts: If Nevada lifts the suspension, how much will Canelo have potentially benefited from drug use?

Or will it matter? Will it be a clean fight? Or will there be lasting benefits from chemically enhanced training?

I'm hoping there will be no excuses either way, but in today's boxing I have no idea.

He's clean now lol. They caught him too early imo for him to get a benefit or maybe he did, hard to say no idea what his weight is atm.

Of course not. He got caught even after they delayed announcing the fight so that he could keep cycling. God knows what else he's took. Clen may be the least of what he's put in his body.
