The highly anticipated boxing rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin might be in jeopardy.
Alvarez tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol in an out-of-competition drug test, his promoter Golden Boy announced Monday. The Golden Boy press release said that the low trace of clenbuterol in Alvarez’s system is “consistent with meat contamination that has impacted dozens of athletes in Mexico over the last few years” and implied the fight with Golovkin, scheduled for May 5 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, is expected go on.
However, that has yet to be determined, according to Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) executive director Bob Bennett.
