That's fucking insane if that's the case, in most sports (football in the UK for example) they can turn up or call you in to be tested 24/7 - 365 days of the year.
British boxing (BBBofC) has random year round testing.

So does anyone know of Canelo's status in the WBC clean boxing program? Was Canelo fighting for the WBC title this time? Or when his first test was conducted since the last fight?

Sulaiman has backed Canelo 100%, claiming he's part of the "clean boxing" program, has never failed before so it's all a bit of a mixup.
Micky mouse.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Yea I heard that the WBc were claiming he was innocent. Because he's been clean before he can't be dirty now?
I heard that with the clean boxing programs, fighters are tested during camp, and they can be tested at random year round, but that this rarely happens. With the WBC, some fighters like Golovkin, Ward, Donaire pay extra money to guarantee that VADA will test them, without notice, on a regular basis, so everybody knows they are clean.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Conte said it's as little as $20,000 a year to guarantee out-of-competition testing, which makes a mockery of the multi-millionaires claiming to be leaders in "clean boxing."
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Apparantly Canelo has been temporarily suspended by the Nevada commission.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
I've also heard that this mean Canelo can't even train in the US.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Honestly thought this was breaking news today and bit disappointed now ;D. This 'suspension' really smells like cya, you might as well be putting him in time-out for two weeks with a pat on the bottom. Fans and venues get screwed while they wait in limbo not knowing if it's a go. Really mishandled all around.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Yea the hearing is supposed to be April 10, do they keep training? Personally I think it's damage control, so it looks as if the commission is doing something. Too much money involved for everyone to go without.

Looks like all it is, still trains and way too much money riding to even hint they cancel it. It's a ruse. They're totally ignoring the precedent here given the status and pomp of Canelo. Or maybe Sulaiman just needed a lab rat.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
There is too much pressure to let it go but too much pressure to halt the fight. So they have to act like they are doing something to punish him but let him go free.
Re: Canelo fails drugs test
Can’t be fucked with this bollocks. Just cancel the whole fucking thing! I can see it now, the fight will go ahead , whoever loses has got a fucking bullshit excuse (unsettled because of all the doubt etc.) and it’ll give this pair of cunts the opportunity to have a third fight. Meanwhile , the whole fucking division is in a state of limbo. Complete Bullshit.

Actually they're following precedent. Remember Morales testing dirty for the same? Fight went ahead then he was suspended. If there are any clean fighters they need to start speaking up because everyone else is only concerned with lining their pockets.
