Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez edged a thrilling rematch with Gennady Golovkin to become the new WBA and WBC middleweight champion in a Las Vegas classic which paves the way for a trilogy which would be fit to grace any era.
Golovkin’s promoter Tom Loeffler claims Voluntary Anti-Doping Association took the unprecedented move to cancel a scheduled drug test after rematch.
“VADA scheduled a random test for GGG a week after the fight,” Loeffler said on Twitter responding to a post.
“I made sure that Canelo was also going to be tested. Next day the random test was cancelled. ‘Strange that it was scheduled then cancelled, maybe Canelo was already in Mexico eating steaks celebrating his “decision”.”
Loeffler clarified it was not the Mexican who made the decision.
He said: “I didn’t say Canelo cancelled the last test, VADA cancelled, but was the first time a random test was ever cancelled.”
