这是一个叫米歇尔·罗森撒尔的,在boxingscene网站写的一周新闻概述,其主一段有关阿瓦雷兹嗑药的看法。
最好的决定;
上周我认为,为了让比赛继续,也有可能是肉类污染,内华达的态度会很宽容,况且阿瓦雷兹是初犯。基于这场大战所能创造的财富,使我的头脑变得宽宏大量。我认为阿瓦雷兹会被罚款,而这场战斗还会继续。
内华达显然有不同的想法。
随着内华达执行主任本内特向阿瓦雷兹提起的正式起诉,此举似乎预示着阿瓦雷兹的停赛会被延长,这就意味着戈瓦不可能在5月5日如期进行战斗。
第一次使用禁药的人在NSAC的规定下面临一年的禁赛处罚,不过如果他们配合委员会的话可以减少到6个月。如果阿尔瓦雷斯被禁赛半年,那么这场比赛将在9月的独立日周末重新安排。
我支持委员会的决定。
拳击有一个PED的问题,去维基百科的网页,标题是“拳击中的兴奋剂案例”,你会明白我的意思。一个委员会或另一个委员会必须采取尽可能强硬的立场反对使用兴奋剂。
这似乎就是预计着,内华达将暂停这项运动中最大的赚钱机器,并在这一过程中扼杀一场超级战斗。明确的证据表明,没有人可以在服用禁药规则中被赦免。委员会将继续宣扬的是:拳手们要对他们的身体负责,不管是有意的还是无意的。
让我们希望这只是个开始,其他的委员会会跟随NSAC的领导,而拳手们得到信息是:不会再有更多的骗子。

BEST DECISION
NSAC and Canelo Alvarez: I’ve never been more pleased to be wrong, assuming the Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin fight is off.
I wrote last week that I thought the Nevada State Athletic Commission would be lenient on Alvarez, who failed two tests for the performance-enhancing drug Clenbuterol. He blamed tainted meat and, if reports are to be believed, only traces of the drug were found in his system. Plus, he was a first-time offender.
That, combined with the money Alvarez-Golovkin II stood to generate for Las Vegas, added up to leniency in my mind. I thought Alvarez would be fined and the fight would go on.
The NSAC evidently had different ideas.
Executive Director Bob Bennett filed a formal complaint against Alvarez after an investigation, a move that seems to portend an extension of the fighter’s temporary suspension. That means Alvarez and Triple-G are unlikely to fight as scheduled on May 5.
First-time doping defenders face one-year suspensions under NSAC regulations, although that can be reduced to six months if they cooperate with the commission. If Alvarez were suspended for a half year, the rematch could be rescheduled for Independence Day weekend in September.
I support the commission’s apparent decision.
Boxing has a PED problem. Go to the Wikipedia page titled “doping cases in boxing” and you’ll see what I mean. One commission or another had to take as strong a stand as possible against doping.
And this appears to be it. The NSAC is expected to suspend arguably the biggest moneymaker in the sport and kill a superfight in the process, clear evidence that no one is exempt from doping regulations. The commission is saying what I will continue to preach: Fighters are responsible for what goes into their bodies, whether intentionally or inadvertently.
Let’s hope that this is only beginning, that other commissions follow the lead of the NSAC and that fighters get the message: No more cheaters. |
