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

[icha]

He still gets to make a ton of money for himself and generate huge revenue for Vegas on September 15th. Anyone else would have been suspended for a year. I hope the rematch vs Golovkin gets made and GGG shows how badly a clean Canelo gets beaten.

much lesser names under the exact same circumstances like vargas and nery didnot even get suspended...

No surprises there. Suspension to create appearances, but no fine and only 6 months suspension. Give me a break. But if GGG doesn't get injured in the fight on May 5, he should be able to resume training and make it for Sept.15. If they postpone until May 2019, I'm afraid GGG might be a bit too old then for this sh$t. But all in all the delay plays in Canelo's favour.

See I think a year of inactivity (and not being able to drug cycle) hurts Canelo more than 4 months of aging hurts GGG, but we'll see.

Vargas and morales didn’t get suspended

Did anyone actually think they would suspend Canelo for a year?

For all the lil g fans getting saved again from another loss & help from Nelo being suspended to line up a fight with lil g in sept. I hope Nelo tells him he wants a tune up for being out of boxing a year. Then lil g will have to face Jermall. #Lions Only!

Derevyanchenko and Murata are in rotation before Charlo I think. And a Saunders unification would trump any of them I believe. Charlo is a good fight, but don't be too surprised if Golovkin loses before he even gets there. There's certainly 3 fights to happen first and also every likelihood of a Canelo rematch at some point which the WBC will certainly sanction over Jermall... Golovkin will be about 38 by the time Jermall's turn comes round by my reckoning, if he's still even fighting.

Sounds like what most people expected. Get him right back into testing and let's get this rematch in September.

This at least makes it evident that a fighter is responsible for even potentially inadvertent drug consumption. Would suck to train Mexico now tho.

There has to be a reason for that. Maybe they'll disclose just how much clen was in Canelo's system.

the reason is NSAC has different rules, for them even if it was unintentional there is got to be a sanction, negligence is punished and rightfully so...

from golden boy:
“As we have maintained all along,” Golden Boy’s statement read, “the trace amounts of clenbuterol found in Canelo’s system in February came from meat contamination, and we provided the Nevada State Athletic Commission with a great deal of evidence to support those facts. Although most professional sports, international anti-doping agencies and United States boxing commissions treat meat contamination differently from other positive tests, Nevada does not.

Canelo ' I need a tune-up' post knee surgery and inactivity before facing GGG.

So if he gets busted in the future . 2 year ban or life time ban? I am seriously trying to understand the rules.
