WADA/NASC rules are clear. There is NO acceptable level of Clenbuterol allowed

[Motorcity Cobra]

It doesn't matter if tainted meat was the issue or not. The threshold for Clenbuterol is ZERO! Tainted meat will be taken into consideration during the punishment phase. NASC is asking for a year. The tainted meat excuse may only get him 6 months. Either way it goes he's still getting punished.

Clenbuterol is an anabolic agent that prohibited at all times (i.e., both in- and out-of-competition). There is no threshold under which this substance is not prohibited.

At present, and based on expert opinions, there is no plan for WADA to introduce a threshold level for clenbuterol.

It is possible that under certain circumstances the presence of a low level of clenbuterol in an athlete sample can be the result of food contamination. However, each case is different and all aspects and context of the case need to be taken into account during the results management process. According to the World Anti-Doping Code, the athlete has the opportunity to explain how a prohibited substance entered their body during the results management and/or or hearing phase of their case.

WADA is working closely with specific countries, International Federations and event organizers to help minimize the risk of meat contamination. Food contamination as a public health issue is primarily a matter for governments to resolve.

NSAC commission says they don't care how it got into your body. It's your responsibly to police what gets into your body.

It’s a shame because this will tarnish his career a bit and no amount of saying “I didn’t know or it wasn’t my fault” is going to forgive this blunder.

So the only discretion is the length of the ban.

Yep. The only time they'll take tainted meat into consideration is during the penalty phase.

You know very little about business. Canelo will make the norm for him anywhere he decides to fight.
