Canelo Hair follicle result

[Holler]

Breaking news from Nevada.... This press release just posted.

'following recent speculation the commission can confirm that the recent hair test of canelo Alvarez was indeed positive. We regret to inform the global boxing community that this man is indeed ginger.'

There were screams of denial when this broke. Alvarez is threatening a lawsuit but the commission is standing firm.

More to follow...

So he really is a ginger? OMG I really believed he's innocent because we Irish people support each other. He disappointed me

I need to pay closer attention I had heard this never got agreed to or submitted by Canelo. Have in fact been hearing some mfers dogging Canelo more in the last few days for NOT doing the hair thing despite him apparently doing it lol.

But w/e I heard the hair test deal is on some lie detector level of accuracy so idk if it legit means he's innocent or not.

There is some oddness about it because it didn't show any level of Clenbuterol present, which is not what would be expected if the previous positive tests were to be accepted. I honestly don't know the science behind it well enough to be sure of the implications, but it's clear that behind the spin there are some serious doubts about the reliabilty of HFT for Clenbuterol testing as the VADA testers apparently took pains to point out. I'm inclined to say jury is still out despite the GBP PR offensive, although unless we're to simply ignore all evidence that doesn't support our personal beliefs I'd say it has to add some weight to Canelo's claim of meat contamination.

EDIT: Not much academic research available that I've been able to easily find, just a coupla abstracts and not much on more recent research which shows further difficulties with certain hair types. It is interesting though that something like 89% of Mexican soccer players showed trace amounts in hair, but Canelo - who is known (presumably) to have ingested Clebuterol had none. Mistest possibly? Who knows.

NB: This is a duplicate of a post I accidentally posted under the PICK EM CREW account. I don't want anyone to think this reflects the opinion of the Crew as a whole, just my personal take. Ta. K

Test! You want to prove your innocence then test 365 year in year out, end of story.

Props to Canelo

If this is true, which apparently it is, then I retract all the bs I said about Canelo. I was wrong.

Time to wrap this up folks, let's now hope everyone learns something from this experience. End of chapter, time to turn the page, and although the story continues, it's best to bookmark this so that other athletes living or visiting Mexico and China, are aware of the danger and avoid embarrassing accusations, million dollar setbacks, and bad contaminated beef.

Another pr move from Delahoya to save face? Why didn't they test hair for other drugs?

You dumb moron. You inbreds were DEMANDING hair test for Clembuteral, now it's why no hair test for other things?

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure if there was something in his system, it would've shown up in that hair test.

You lil'g dickriders are nothing more than a bunch of whiny pussies. Scared that gina is going to get her ass whipped in September.

Enjoy the easy KO win faggot.

I hope he is innocent for the sake of the sport but it doesn't really matter because he'll never be trusted again.

Canelo was already proven innocent and the clen trace was from tainted meat. Everyone here who claims he used Clenbuterol for the 2nd Golovkin fight are fúcking idiots

Clenbuterol can be detected in hair with more accuracy than urine. here is the Scientific study:

Quote:

Several bodybuilders, all winners of international competitions, were arrested for trafficking of a number of doping agents including anabolic steroids, ephedrine, beta-adrenergics, human chorionic gonadotropin, antidepressants, and diuretics.

In accordance with the recent French law against doping, the judge asked to test seven bodybuilders to identify doping practices. Hair and urine specimens were collected for analysis. After decontamination, a 100 mg hair strand was pulverized in a ball mill, hydrolyzed, extracted, and derivatized to be tested by GC/MS for anabolic steroids, beta-adrenergic compounds, ephedrine, and other doping agents. Urine was analyzed for anabolic steroids and metabolites, beta-adrenergic compounds, ephedrine, and human chorionic gonadotropin, in addition to a broad spectrum screening with GC/MS.

The following compounds were detected in urine: ephedrine (29 and 36 ng/ml, n = 2), clenbuterol (0.2 to 0.3 ng/ml, n = 3), norandrosterone (4.7 to 100.7 ng/ml, n = 7), norethiocholanolone (0.9 to 161.8 ng/ml, n = 6), stanozolol (1 to 25.8 ng/ml, n = 4), methenolone (2.5 to 29.7 ng/ml, n = 4), testosterone (3 to 59.6 ng/ml, n = 7), epitestosterone (1 to 20.4 ng/ml, n = 7) and ratio testosterone/epitestosterone n = 6 for four subjects (18.5 to 59.6).

The following drugs were detected in hair: ephedrine (0.67 and 10.70 ng/mg, n = 2), salbutamol (15 to 31 pg/mg, n = 3), clenbuterol (15 to 122 pg/mg, n = 6), nandrolone (1 to 7.5 pg/mg, n = 3), stanozolol (2 to 84 pg/mg, n = 4), methenolone (17 and 34 ng/ml, n = 2), testosterone enanthate (0.6 to 18.8 ng/mg, n = 5), and testosterone cypionate (3.3 to 4.8 ng/mg, n = 2). These results document the doping practice and demonstrate repetitive exposure to anabolic compounds and confirm the value of hair analysis as a complement to urinalysis in the control of doping practice.

In urine tests, 3 of 7 bodybuilders tested positive for Clenbuterol. In hair testing, 6 o 7 tested positive for Clenbuterol.
