Canelo must prove to Commission clenbuterol levels came from meat



By Jeff Aranow: Saul Canelo Alvarez will be meeting with the Nevada Commission on April 10th to prove to them that his 2 failed tests from the banned substance clenbuterol came from contaminated meat. Documentation on the purchase of the contaminated meat has been turned into the Nevada Commission by Golden Boy Promotions, according to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times.


Now it’s up to Commission to decide whether the information is enough to clear the 27-year-old Canelo. The levels that Canelo tested positive for with clenbuterol are said to be low and within the range of someone that had eaten contaminated beef. It’s going to be difficult for the Nevada Commission to prove that Canelo’s positive test for clenbuterol didn’t come from him eating contaminated meat. The levels are low enough for them to be consistent with someone having eaten meat that contained the substance. If the Commission is going to allow fighters to use the excuse that they ate contaminated meat for them to be cleared, then it’s likely Canelo will be given the green light by the Nevada Commission on April 10 to go ahead and fight Golovkin.

Some boxing fans might not like it, but the Commission allows the meat excuse to be used. If they’re going to allow fighters to swerve being penalized by them saying they ate contaminated meat, then Canelo will likely be cleared on April 10. It’s going to make the Commission look bad to some fans, but there’s nothing that can be done about that.

The Nevada Commission will want to hear what Canelo says on April 10 about his 2 positive tests for clenbuterol. Canelo’s first failed test on February 17 is said to have been 10 times higher for levels of clenbuterol for the second positive test on February 20. However, the tests were both low. It’s unclear what the Commission is going to ask Canelo.

It would seem that the low levels of his two positive tests should be enough for Canelo to be cleared. Canelo only has to say he ate contaminated meat, and then give the Commission the receipts for when and where he purchased the food. How wever, it would be a different story if the Commission didn’t allow fighters to use the contaminated meat excuse for them to avoid being suspended and penalized.



Low levels of a drug don’t necessarily mean that fighter ate contaminated meat. It could mean that the testing was done at the time the fighter was coming off the drug. You can argue that’s why the Commission should cancel the fight, because they have no way of knowing for certain how the clenbuterol got into Canelo’s system. If they’re going to make a judgment call and guess, then Golovkin could face a guy that has possibly used a drug to help him lean out his physique before starting training camp. Since then Commission can’t ever know for sure in cases like this, it’s better that they cancel a fight rather than letting it continue in my opinion.

I prefer eating at cheap dives in Mexico.. I will test positive for anything I eat and enjoy in Mexico...

After wasting 3 puto's mi jeffe... Never mind..

It may not stop you from buying it, but it can stop you from eating it. You don't think Canelo is aware of the issue with Mexican meat? You don't think they could test the meat when they buy it? He's rich and has personal chefs.

Yes, that's the point that I made. If he is "innocent" in this, he could still be looked at as being somewhat negligent for failing to avoid ALL Mexican beef. Still, that is far different than purposely doping. Hopefully the investigation will reveal if he was just guilty of "you should have known better than to eat any beef in Mexico" or "you maliciously tried to cheat," but clearly they aren't worthy of the same degree of punishment.

Basically, this issue now forces him to avoid training in Mexico ever again (if his dietician deems that beef is necessary for whatever reason) or just to give up eating beef in Mexico completely a bit before and while training for a fight.

But I don't know how he would test the meat. I don't think his personal chefs are scientists. lol.

Most people who struggle with this fail to understand how the food industry works. I worked in that field and was a purchaser for 4 years so here's the deal;
.

Is their any "field" you haven't worked in, and any subject under the sun you don't know everything there is to know about?

[D4thincarnation]

Has he turned in the purchased information where he bought the PEDs

[kafkod]

Lets look at one fact that everybody is missing.....canelo was 154lbs with not an ounce of fat on him when he faced off with liam smith just 12 months before golovkin and in a space of 12 months he then gained a full 6lbs and was **** on the 160 limit (some say he was over the limit ) and again built up more muscle with not an ounce of fat to spare.....what does clenbuterol do when you take it....makes you gain muscle while you strip fat of your body....the proof is right there

Not exactly. Canelo weighed 154 for Smith, then 8 months later he was 164 for Chavez Jr, looking just as lean and ripped as he was at 154, then 4 months after that he was down to 160 for GGG.

alot of people, ever heard of itemizing? hell grocieres can be a deductible for Canelo.

You're Mexican right? Probably been to Mexico too right? Teach me about Mexico for a minute.

I'm guessing there isn't a lot of receipts exchanging hands at butcher shops in Mexico? Reason I ask is butcher shops here aren't exactly giving receipts either.

[Elroy The Great]

so, witch hunters.

if the info turns out legit, then what

its just like the U.S. You get receipts.

let me ask you, when you buys say say 5lb of beef from the deli area, do you go to the front and pay for it and get a receipt or does the butcher in the back take you money on the spot?

I’ve been to Mexico three times, spent over a month each time. I ate out everyday, I never got a receipt. The only time your ever going to receive a recent is if u go into a Walmart or big commercial stores.

[NahMean]

He'll just pay a store to hold stock of meat with clenbuterol in and say it was that store.. This proves nothing.
