Very similar to the excuse given by Alberto Contador in cycling, his career was tainted till the very end and he lost his TDF title as a result. Andy Schleck the rightful winner was never fully recognised and today lives estranged in his home town.

Not that you needed to know that. But Contador and Canelo are similarly very top level athletes on a world stage.

He was banned for 2 years.

One note, Contadors test was obvioulsy not voluntary in this case and was covered by WADA and follows a much stricter regime of testing. But the facts remain.

possible for sure


But, I would think Canelo would be aware of this and not eat meat tainted.

I would have personal chef and source the meat properly.

interesting for sure
He has plenty of money to bring in clean food.
GTFO with his excuse. 9 figures on the line and
you don't bring in clean food?

Not buying it

with all that good pork down there, why bother with beef at all? ...unless he just wanted the Mexican version of this:

Could there possibly be some real consequences relate to this incident? I'm doubtful with all the money on the line. This is just posturing, IMO.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission temporarily suspended Canelo Alvarez on Friday due to his two positive tests for the banned substance clenbuterol, commission executive director Bob Bennett told ESPN.

The situation puts Alvarez's scheduled rematch with unified middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin on May 5 (HBO PPV, 8 p.m. ET) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in serious jeopardy of being canceled.

Alvarez will be required to appear at a commission hearing -- either in person or via telephone -- on the issue on April 10, less than a month before he is to challenge Golovkin in a heavily anticipated rematch of their controversial draw at the same venue in September. ‎The commission will decide at the hearing whether the fight will be permitted to go ahead as scheduled.

The commission issued the suspension per its regulations in the midst of an investigation after Alvarez twice tested positive for clenbuterol in random urine tests conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, on Feb. 17 and Feb. 20.

"On Tuesday, Golovkin talked with reporters about Alvarez's failed test and claimed Alvarez was "not clean" for their first fight Sept. 16, 2017 and that he could see injection marks on Alvarez's arms."
Lol @ that statement. He'd be doing oral, intramuscular, or subQ injections, not shooting it up like heroin in the exact spot where blood samples are taken for all the drug tests.

He said the same thing about Canelo's abs. If GGG didn't kill himself to make 160 so he can fight smaller guys he might have muscles too
