Canelo Alvarez's camp blames suspect meat for positive clenbuterol test
4:46 PM MT
Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez, who is in training for his mega rematch with unified middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin, has tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol.

Golovkin and Alvarez are scheduled to meet on May 5 (HBO PPV) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in a rematch of their hugely controversial draw last September. It is unclear whether the positive test will affect the rematch.

As part of the deal for the first fight, as well as for the rematch, both boxers agreed to be randomly tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association.

Alvarez, who is training in his hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, provided urine samples on Feb. 17 and Feb. 20, and both tests came back positive for trace amounts of clenbuterol, according to the letter VADA president Margaret Goodman sent to those involved on Monday, and obtained by ESPN.

Clenbuterol has shown up in drug tests for many Mexican athletes in recent years because of meat contamination in the country. Alvarez also said meat contamination caused his positive test.

"As part of the voluntary testing program that Canelo Alvarez insisted on ahead of his May 5 fight, one of his results came back positive for trace levels of clenbuterol, consistent with meat contamination that has impacted dozens of athletes in Mexico over the last years," Golden Boy Promotions, Alvarez's promoter, said in a statement addressing the positive test.

"As Daniel Eichner, director of [the Sports Medicine Research and Testing Laboratory], the WADA-accredited lab that conducted the tests stated in his letter [on Monday], 'These values are all within the range of what is expected from meat contamination.' Upon receiving this information, Golden Boy immediately notified the Nevada State Athletic Commission and Gennady Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler."

In the letter VADA sent disclosing the positive test, Goodman said she had spoken to Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett and that "the current plan is to continue to test Mr. Alvarez so that the Nevada State Athletic Commission can make a final determination. Mr. Alvarez has the right to promptly request analysis of the 'B' samples at his expense."


Alvarez usually does the bulk of his training for fights in San Diego, and Golden Boy said he would immediately move his camp there "and will submit to any number and variety of additional tests that VADA deems necessary ahead of and after May 5."

Loeffler was notified of the positive test and said Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) is also aware of it but that they are waiting to hear more from the Nevada commission before making an assessment.

"We're not really going to comment until we get more detail from VADA and the commission. We'll reserve comment," Loeffler told ESPN. "But Gennady has always insisted on VADA testing for any of his fights. He punches so hard that [trainer] Abel [Sanchez] wanted nobody to have any doubt about his training program. Gennady feels very strongly about a clean sport and level playing field for both guys. He can't comment on this test specifically, but that's his position. It's premature to say anything more without knowing all of the details."

Alvarez said he was embarrassed by the positive test.

Texans left tackle Duane Brown tested positive for clenbuterol. Brown, who now plays for the Seattle Seahawks, was not disciplined, and the drug program's independent administrator sent a letter warning players that consumption of too much meat in Mexico and China could cause a positive test for the anabolic substance.

Bennett said that "naturally there will be increased testing" for Alvarez and that the case "appears to be at a situation that runs parralell to Mr. Vargas'."

Uh oh. We might not be seeing any action from Kieef Thurman for a while

Keith Thurman injures hand; May 19 fight at Barclays Center off
7:36 PM ET

Unified welterweight world titleholder Keith Thurman, who has been out of action since last March because of right elbow surgery, has another injury that will keep him sidelined a bit longer.

Thurman suffered a deep bruise to his left hand and has been forced to pull out of his next fight, scheduled for May 19, a source close to Thurman told ESPN on Friday.

Thurman has not boxed since winning a split decision against Danny Garcia to unify two 147-pound world titles on March 4, 2017, at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, in one of the most anticipated fights of the year.

After that fight, Thurman had surgery on his injured right elbow and was due to return in a Showtime-televised title defense scheduled for May 19, also at Barclays Center.

Thurman's opponent had not yet been announced for the May 19 fight even though Thurman's return had been announced in late January when Showtime unveiled its schedule for most of the first half of the year at a glitzy media event in New York.

Thurman (28-0, 22 KOs), 29, of Clearwater, Florida, suffered the injury about two weeks ago and was advised by his doctor to rest his hand for six weeks, the source said. Thurman is aiming for a summer return.

Thurman has made four title defenses since being elevated from an interim world titleholder to a full titlist in 2015.

Personally I dont think canelo wanted a rematch...

I agree. GGG and his people were fucking stupid for waiting around doing what Oscar wanted. He needs to set that Billy Joe Saunders fight up, become undisputed champ and try to break B-hops title defense record. That puts you in the history books. He's wasted 2 years of his career on this and he's not getting any younger. That's what Canelo wanted. Have GGG sit around and get old so he would be easier to beat.

Because he's being AVOIDED.
That ain't his fault.
not when he's going around picking fights with Yuri Foreman as a belt holder when he had the option to fight Andrade, Hurd (at that time) or even one of the Charlos while trying to call out GGG.

But he say he wants that Charlos smoke now so we'll see.

Andrade doesn't want to fight anybody.
All he does is TALK about fighting people, but never does.
The Charlos are stablemates of Lara and are close friends.
So I wouldn't count on that happening.
If it does, it's a business decision.
But Lara chased Canelo around like Clubber Lang until he got the fight.
So I wouldn't say that he avoids competition.
