Trainer advertised performance-enhancing drugs before working with Canelo Alvarez
"Rulas Arreola, also known as Raul Arreola Dosal, has travelled to Las Vegas with Canelo to prepare for a super fight with the undefeated American Terence Crawford on Saturday. It is a contest marketed as a once-in-a-lifetime event that marks the beginning of a bold new era in boxing. Arreola says he has never recommended, provided or sold any banned substance to any athlete or anybody who was subject to any anti-doping rules."
"But the persistent involvement of performance-enhancing drugs in boxing is threatening to cast a shadow over the fight that is to be streamed live by Netflix. Travis Tygart, the chief executive of the US Anti-Doping Agency (Usada), said the advertising of the substances by Arreola via social media are significant flags that ought to be looked into. Arreola is a physical trainer who has worked with Alvarez in two stints, first from August 2017 to December 2018, and for a second time since the spring of 2023."
Rulas Arreola, also known as Raul Arreola Dosal, has worked with Canelo Alvarez in two stints and travelled to Las Vegas to prepare for the super fight against Terence Crawford. Arreola advertised performance-enhancing drugs, including human growth hormone, on his personal and business Facebook accounts in 2016 through February 2017 and marketed some for improving athletic performance. Arreola runs the Radical Nutrition gym in Guadalajara and listed his phone number on posts that remained live until this month. Travis Tygart of USADA said such advertising are significant flags that should be examined.
