On Thursday, the WBC announced that it will begin acknowledging the increased allowable threshold for the drug established earlier this year by the World Anti-Doping Association, meaning those fighters' positive tests, as conducted by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association in conjunction with the WBC's Clean Boxing Program, would no longer have been considered a failed test because the amount found in their system was so small. Clenbuterol remains banned under WADA code, and drug tests found to have an amount that exceeds the new threshold would still count as a failed test and result in punishment.
Junior featherweight world titlist Vargas and top flyweight contender Martinez both recently tested positive for trace amounts of the drug in random sample collections. Those results were announced by the WBC earlier this week, with the WBC saying that the amounts were "so small that no further action is being taken."
"That will prevent athletes from being penalized for an anti-doping rule violation as a result of consuming contaminated meat," the WBC said. "The levels of clenbuterol and related substances found in WBC CBP cases to date -- Canelo Alvarez, Francisco Vargas and Luis Nery -- have been significantly lower than the new WADA standard. Even before the new WADA standard, the WBC has consistently treated those cases accordingly. Thus, after an extensive investigation, the WBC did not penalize the affected athletes."

Sacman I think it shines a bright light on the current boxing political landscape. It is so cluttered with bs that it's almost unbearable.
Imo it showcased the essence or core if you will of why we love the sport. Kinda refreshing imo. I expect more productions to follow the model.
