Comments Thread For: Canelo Alvarez Suspended for Six Months for Failing PED Tests

[icha]

canelo better buy non detectable PEDs this time lol

if that was the case he had the money to do it since the beggining, not just cheap clen, dont you think?

[Robbie Barrett]

yes, title wont be at stake but ggg wont be striped, it makes sense since they had to be sure that canelo was ready for september in order to allow ggg a tune up fight.. it is in the lace plugmire article and i believe also on espn deportes...

That's what some posters on here have said. But they have provided no source which has said he won't be stripped or the IBF have approved it.

He'll just get that 6 months from now

And in 6 months it would of been $50,000,000+ for the year. Not now 25 mil.

And this is boxing your career can be ended with just 1 punch.

yup as soon as the fight was announced I said that the GGG camp already knows the suspsension will be off in time for Sept. They had inside info that's why that shoe dropped first. And IBF refusing to vacate GGG because they want to get paid in Sept too.

it all revolves around canelo, like canelo told ggg "cant live without me"...

this is one of the reasons why boxers roll the dice to see if they can cheat and not get caught, even if you get caught you blame the food and continue on a few months later, no problem

boxing has a long way to go, but with its BS belts, corrupt officials, promoters and cash for the popular fighters, its never going to get there, there are boxers out there who literally would never lose on a home points decision

No, he blew the timing and so he lost the May 5th payday. That's the punishment. The rules are that he's clean by testing, he violated the rules and he was punished.

yes, he's gonna miss the may 5th payday, but he'll be back in sept. so this suspension basically means nothing since sept is when he usually fights again anyways.

What a corrupt commission.

First, they tell him how they would rule a week before the hearing, if he said what they told him. Then, he says what they told him, and now rule exactly the same as they said.

What precedent does this set for fighters eating Mexican beef? Use all the PEDS you want as long as it is in the meat? This is a joke.

I've never said once that Canelo is guilty. I don't know that. Nonetheless, this is as corrupt and sleezy as it gets.

LOL are you ******ed? he's avoided getting drug tested and when he finally does he got caught. he's failed multiple tests and you still don't know if he's guilty hey I got a golden bridge to sell you.

Message to all Mexican boxers: Keep your beef receipts if you wanna get off!

[redmish]

Every fighter can take drugs now because there is no consequences to failing a test. The authorities have made a mistake here and it's simply because he is the sports biggest star. Essentially, he's been given a 3 month ban. Sad day.
