Canelo Álvarez will return to the ring next September and will close the terrible chapter in his career when six months ago he tested positive for doping. "He wants to leave that chapter behind, go ahead and [is] focused because it has been difficult for him to get out and excel and become the boxer he is today," his friend Jessica Maldonado, who exclusively told People en Español, who He interviewed the boxer for Al Rojo Vivo (Telemundo). "I see him very focused, more mature. I feel that starting in February that he came out positive in a doping like it shook him, focused him and located him.”

Canelo tested positive for clenbuterol, a substance given to cattle to build muscle mass and lose fat. The boxer was not the only one to have tested positive, as many Mexican soccer players have also had the same results when they have undergone the examination.

Neither slow nor lazy and with his head held high, upon learning the results of his tests Canelo raised his voice. "I am an athlete who respects sports and this surprises and bothers me because it has never happened to me before," said the Mexican. "I will submit to all the tests that are required to clarify this embarrassing situation and I trust that in the end the truth will prevail."

The truth, according to her friend Maldonado, is that Canelo ingested the substance when eating meat. "When I spoke to him about that incident, he wants to leave it in the past and is ready for September 15 Mexicans to shout 'Long live Mexico'!" Says the journalist. "Today, in this generation of boxers, he is the best Mexican boxer there is, it hurts whoever hurts him."
