hair follicle test doe..... ?
Canelo had no idea how that would turn out.....
..... unless, the positive result was due to accidental contamination
look, I have no idea..... but, neither do you
cool story bro
my point in that post was..... Golovkin will be fighting the exact same Canelo..... except, the better fighter will make the better adjustments

I've been hearing a lot of crap lately; Offer on the table, offer off the table, looking for a fight with Jacobs, last and final offer, deadline, no way 50-50, ect. Let me know when the contract is signed, and the date and venue finalized, THEN I'll believe these hoes are for real.

coz yea, pretty sure that you are talking bollocks
TESTING
Clenbuterol is excreted from the body in the urine and can thus be detected by analysis using such technology as mass spectrometry.
Currently the most sensitive equipment is capable of detecting Clenbuterol concentrations as low as 5-10pg/ml in the urine, but WADA only requires that an accredited laboratory be able to detect a level as low as 2ng/ml (a picogram (pg) is one-trillionth of a gram; whilst a nanogram (ng) is one billionth of a gram).
A typical dose used by an athlete might be in the range of 50-100µg (microgram, one millionth of a gram) or higher, and under these conditions, Clenbuterol may be detected in the urine for a week or longer after it was last consumed.
Since Clenbuterol is used on livestock to increase the proportion of lean meat, it can potentially be consumed by humans without their knowledge. In Europe, meat sold for human consumption is required to have a level of Clenbuterol less than 100ng/kg but elsewhere - particularly in China, Mexico and the Latin American region - standards may not be enforced.
Thus athletes who have tested positive for this substance in recent times have argued that their ingestion of this substance was accidental rather than the result of intentional doping.
Some scientists believe that this uncertainty might be alleviated by instituting a threshold for Clenbuterol — a level below which a positive would not be considered doping — but WADA has announced that it has no plans to change the status of the drug.
The current situation therefore remains: the outcome of each case is determined by whether or not an athlete can successfully argue that the evidence supports the conclusion that ingestion resulted from contaminated food.
Such evidence might include the location in which the meat was obtained or a hair test since Clenbuterol, like many other substances, accumulates in very small amounts in hair follicles. If an athlete has taken the substance over a period of time in the past, his/her hair test might return a positive for a period of six months or longer. Conversely, if the Clenbuterol resulted from a single incident, in which the subject had eaten meat for example, a hair test would almost certainly be negative.
