Some places consider "in competition" the day of weigh-in/fight day

Not if the substance is actually in the nasal spray. And it's also a substance that has a life span of a few hours, basically an energy boost. Would do zero a month out of a fight and little on the day of a fight.

If I was a pro boxer, and wanted to cheat... Id just look for products that can contain a specific banned substance that i wanted to use... And have it in my back pocket... In Canelos case the tacos, in silly hoe Saunders case, the nasal spray... Like, I feel it's just to easy to actually cheat and get away with it. Why aren't people demanding a hair follicle test? What were the levels of this substance silly hoe took and what is considered a beneficial level? Will he be held acount by signing to vada 365? Thia cannot be a slap on the wrist and that's it! The world cried when canelo failed and he submitted to hair follicle and is now enrolled to vada 365... Silly hoe Saunders should be held to the same criticism and standard.
