Canelo turned in purchase information of where meat was bought

[El Gitano]

According to Steve Kim and Gabe Montoya, it doesn't matter. NSAC rewrote their drug testing rules in 2016, based on those rules, how Clen got into Canelo doesn't matter, knowingly or unknowingly - seems like NSAC will have no choice but to suspend him, only long enough so that he can fight in September.

Canelo holds grudges, I wonder if his next fight will be in Texas or somewhere else.

[GhostofDempsey]

He has a personal chef who buys the food and saves the receipts because that's what you do when you are a personal chef. He may make it sound like he's more involved (to avoid complications) but I don't see how anyone thinks this dude, who travels with armed staff in a military vehicle with bullet proof glass, is taking causal trips to the store.

I do, I kinda have to, for tax purposes, my CPA tells me all restaurants, gas stations,etc,etc receipts must be saved, but yeah, they have so much money that the cow, butcher,cashier,bag person, and security from "Soriana"(mexican market) will testify they are at fault.

So for this particular fight he bought meat from a different market, one that sells tainted meat? I'm not buying it.

Again, no one has determined how much tainted meat he would have to eat in order to have those levels of CLEN in his system. Is it one 10-ounce steak, or 20 pounds of meat?

This tainted meat story has been circling professional sports since 2011. You would think by now a fighter who has to test for PEDs would make sure he wasn't eating any tainted meat, especially one who is a very wealthy fighter and can afford premium beef from anywhere in the world.

alot of people, ever heard of itemizing? hell grocieres can be a deductible for Canelo.

Not sure how many multi millionaires keep the receipt for their beef purchase lololol...i could see if he used a credit card to purchase and just got the transaction receipt though.

Dude ain't saving his meat purchase receipts. If they suddenly came up with one then it's not legit at all Imo. They went down to the local spot and some dude gave them a receipt. Who the fk would turn down Canelo in Mexico if he rolled in needing something as simple as a piece of paper that said he bought something.

[Eff Pandas]

What I believe panda, is that people,myself included ,is that mexico is known for the tainted meat, so why even risk it, they have beef cuts from argentina,france,u.s and other countries, that I do know for a fact,I am not only mexican but go quite often, and they are places that only specialize on those kind of cuts, now, if canelo felt like eating some tacos,those places dont sell them, but they do sell the raw cuts, and I am sure Canelo has cooks at hand.

Interesting.

But yea my assumption is this is a cook thing too. Or someone the cook has to go shop for him. Or thats gonna be the angle used if he's lying.

This is among the weirdest boxing drama I've seen. Never a dull moment as a boxing fan.

that probably exactly what they did print out the CC statement etc.

but who knows, its not like canelo is buying the meat himself, his chef is probably doing it and have to save the reciepts etc to show for expenses etc.

literally quite of legit reasons to have a reciept and its not hard to get it if they need it either. Take off your aluminum hat and join the real world.

He would need to use a credit card.

"Medical, dental, nutritionist, psychologist, and funeral expenses
Resident taxpayers are allowed to deduct un-reimbursed medical, dental, nutritionist, psychologist, and funeral expenses for themselves and their dependants, as well as health insurance premiums subject to the general limit. Such expenses are not deductible if they are paid in cash."

So this means Canelo bought the meat himself?

I find the more money people got usually the more on top of sh^t like receipts they are. There are all kinds of tax breaks & itemizing you can do with those receipts if you know whats up or got a tax guy who does.

Canelo must prove to Commission clenbuterol levels came from meat



By Jeff Aranow: Saul Canelo Alvarez will be meeting with the Nevada Commission on April 10th to prove to them that his 2 failed tests from the banned substance clenbuterol came from contaminated meat. Documentation on the purchase of the contaminated meat has been turned into the Nevada Commission by Golden Boy Promotions, according to Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times.


Now it’s up to Commission to decide whether the information is enough to clear the 27-year-old Canelo. The levels that Canelo tested positive for with clenbuterol are said to be low and within the range of someone that had eaten contaminated beef. It’s going to be difficult for the Nevada Commission to prove that Canelo’s positive test for clenbuterol didn’t come from him eating contaminated meat. The levels are low enough for them to be consistent with someone having eaten meat that contained the substance. If the Commission is going to allow fighters to use the excuse that they ate contaminated meat for them to be cleared, then it’s likely Canelo will be given the green light by the Nevada Commission on April 10 to go ahead and fight Golovkin.

Some boxing fans might not like it, but the Commission allows the meat excuse to be used. If they’re going to allow fighters to swerve being penalized by them saying they ate contaminated meat, then Canelo will likely be cleared on April 10. It’s going to make the Commission look bad to some fans, but there’s nothing that can be done about that.

The Nevada Commission will want to hear what Canelo says on April 10 about his 2 positive tests for clenbuterol. Canelo’s first failed test on February 17 is said to have been 10 times higher for levels of clenbuterol for the second positive test on February 20. However, the tests were both low. It’s unclear what the Commission is going to ask Canelo.

It would seem that the low levels of his two positive tests should be enough for Canelo to be cleared. Canelo only has to say he ate contaminated meat, and then give the Commission the receipts for when and where he purchased the food. However, it would be a different story if the Commission didn’t allow fighters to use the contaminated meat excuse for them to avoid being suspended and penalized.



Low levels of a drug don’t necessarily mean that fighter ate contaminated meat. It could mean that the testing was done at the time the fighter was coming off the drug. You can argue that’s why the Commission should cancel the fight, because they have no way of knowing for certain how the clenbuterol got into Canelo’s system. If they’re going to make a judgment call and guess, then Golovkin could face a guy that has possibly used a drug to help him lean out his physique before starting training camp. Since then Commission can’t ever know for sure in cases like this, it’s better that they cancel a fight rather than letting it continue in my opinion.

I read Lance's article last night and this morning, no where does it state that he submitted purchase receipts for the meat.

[boliodogs]

I am almost certain Canelo will be fighting GGG on May 5th in Vegas. The fight is too big to cancel or postpone. The NSAC needs to make a new rule that bad meat is no longer a valid excuse for a positive test. Mexican boxers should be warned to import any beef they eat from a clean source or eat lamb, fish or chicken instead.
