I expected VADA to be involved in Canelo's hair testing.

TS trusts the failed tests but not the passed ones

notes from the second study:
For the application study, a total dosage of 30 µg clenbuterol was applied to 20 healthy volunteers on 5 subsequent days. One month after the beginning of the application, clenbuterol was detected in the proximal hair segment (0-1 cm) in concentrations between 0.43 and 4.76 pg/mg. For the second part, samples of 66 Mexican soccer players were analyzed. In 89% of these volunteers, clenbuterol was detectable in their hair at concentrations between 0.02 and 1.90 pg/mg. A comparison of both parts showed no statistical difference between sub-the****utic application and contamination. In contrast, discrimination to a typical abuse of clenbuterol is apparently possible


So basically, there is such a huge variation of Clen detected EVEN WHEN conditions are strictly controlled!

Basically, hair testing is very unreliable. And keep in mind, this was after only ONE MONTH. Canelo didn't test his hair until a month and a half.

So while "it CAN detect up to 90 days" it doesn't mean THAT IT WILL. Just like a urine test for marijuana - sure - it CAN detect/stay in your system for over a month, but the longer and longer you take the test from when consumed, the less accurate/less likely it will be to detect anything.

This pretty much ends the debate about this hair test meaning anything. Which is why the NSAC said "cool, and thanks, but you're still

so far i cant find one anti-doping expert or even anti-doping agency or a doctor expert, that claims canelo cheated, i choose to believe them over any study...
if it was just one mans opinion maybe, but when they are all putting their rep on the line by stating it was food contamination i have no reason to doubt them...
