Hindsight 20/20: Did Canelo drop the WBC to get out of VADA testing?

[LADIV]

The WBC Clean Boxing Program started May 7th and fighters were to be enrolled within 90 days. Canelo beat Khan on the same day and dropped the belt two weeks later. He didn't wait for the WBC to strip him. He also had a major court case coming up that had the ability to bankrupt his promoter, Golden Boy. We know that didn't happen but I've always wondered why didn't Canelo ask the WBC to be named champion in recess until the trial was over and his future was clear.

Then his next fight was Liam Smith at 154, a weight he hadn't made in 3 years. He dropped VADA testing for that fight. And Eric Gomez lied about it.

Canelo signed to fight Chavez Jr and signed up for VADA testing. We now know Canelo has never been tested while training in Mexico. He moved his camp from Mexico to San Diego in April for that fight. About a month before the fight.

The GGG fight is signed and Canelo agrees to VADA testing but doesn't agree to fight for the WBC belt which would require year round drug testing. Once again, we know Canelo has never been tested in Mexico. And again he moves his camp to San Diego about a month before the fight.

Even though Canelo was ranked in the top 15 by the WBC leading up to the current fight he wasn't enrolled in the WBC clean boxing program. He was doing the VADA testing he and GGG agreed to.

Yea. We now know he was never tested in mexico before then. We just found it this was his first time being tested in Mexico. Maybe I didn't word it right but everybody else seemed to get what I was saying but you

Good points. When all this was going down I didn't realize the connection between him dropping the title and having to be enrolled for testing.

Question, how is he not CBP and still ranked by WBC? Also why wasn't he on that list of boxers who didn't take CBP suleiman just revealed?

You forget they tried to enforce there split rule and give ggg 45 percent of the purse and 15 days to sign the fight.that split is a very good reason to trash the belt

There is no split rule. The WBC can determine the split. Just like they determined Stevenson vs. Kovalev for 50/50 even though Stevenson was the champ.

_Maxi had pointed this out before.

Absolutely false. That was made up by robbiebanme.

Gomez admitted last year that Canelo wasnt ready in 2016 for Golovkin. Aka needed More peds for muscle gain.
